- 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.
