Option 3 : Develop a model which can be replicated only in India.

The key objectives of Jan Aushadhi Scheme are to -

  • Make quality the hallmark of medicines by ensuring supplies from the CPSUs and also through other PSUs and GMP compliant manufacturers in the private sector.
  •  Extend coverage of quality generic medicines, which would reduce and thereby redefine the unit cost of treatment per person.
  • Provide access to any prescription drug or Over The Counter (OTC) drug in all therapeutic categories as generic equivalents.
  • Not be restricted to the beneficiaries of Public Health System but also to serve others.
  • create awareness through education and publicity that quality is not synonymous with high price
  • Create a demand for generic medicines “By All for All” by improving access to better healthcare through low treatment costs.
  • Also involve State governments, Central Government, Public Sector Enterprises, Private Sector, NGOs, Cooperative bodies and other institutions, being a public welfare programme.

Develop a model which can be replicated in other countries of the world, in pursuit of their common goal of achieving affordable quality health care.
