Varanasi : The Union government would soon open 300 pharmacy AMRIT outlets in different parts of the country to provide affordable medicines to the people at a discount rate of 60-70 per cent, Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Anupriya Patel said.
She said this while inaugurating Uttar Pradesh's first AMRIT pharmacy outlet at Sir Sunder Lal Hospital of Banaras Hindu University here.
Patel said the pharmacy outlet 'Affordable Medicines and Reliable Implants for Treatment' (AMRIT) is an effort of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government to reduce the expenditure incurred by patients on treatment of cancer, cardiovascular and other diseases.
