Скачать или смотреть Myth-buster: Quality issues with generic medicines

Excerpt from our episode breaking down the Government of India’s Jan Aushadhi Scheme — how Jan Aushadhi Kendras operate, and why medicines here can cost as little as 25% of regular retail prices.

Dr. Gopal Dabade explains that the key reason for lower prices is that medicines are sold only by their salt name, not brand name, eliminating brand promotion and middleperson margins. This makes essential medicines significantly more affordable — especially for people who require lifelong treatment, such as those managing blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

He also suggests a practical model:

✅ Free medicines in government hospitals
✅ Jan Aushadhi stores located near private hospitals

This can really reduce the overall burden of healthcare expenses in India.
A practical, affordable solution — already within existing government policy.
