Deoghar: In a significant move towards enhancing healthcare accessibility, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra at Deoghar AIIMS through online proceedings from Delhi on November 30. Strategically located adjacent to Amrit Pharmacy in the Deoghar AIIMS campus, the PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra is poised to offer a wide array of medicines at affordable rates.

Thanks to the advocacy of Godda MP Dr. Nishikant Dubey, the Union Health Ministry has given the green light for the establishment of the PM Jan Aushadhi Center in Deoghar AIIMS. Ravidadichi, CEO of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Bureau of India (PMBI), conveyed this approval in a letter to MP Dr. Nishikant Dubey and the AIIMS Director. The inauguration ceremony, marking the launch of the 10,000th PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra in the country, will be conducted via video conferencing.

Prime Minister Modi’s address will extend beyond Deoghar AIIMS to include Kolhapur in Maharashtra. Godda MP Dr. Nishikant Dubey is expected to be present at the Deoghar AIIMS function.

Expressing his satisfaction, MP Dr. Nishikant Dubey shared that his request to Union Health Minister Mansukhmandaviya for the establishment of a Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendra in Deoghar had been met with serious consideration. With the inauguration of the PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra on November 30, patients will experience relief from long queues at Amrit Pharmacy, and medicines will be available at significantly reduced rates, offering discounts ranging from 50 to 90 percent.
The PM Jan Aushadhi Kendra at Deoghar AIIMS will stock a comprehensive range of 1600 medicines, including government generic medicines, along with approximately 900 surgical items.

This modern and well-equipped Jan Aushadhi Kendra is poised to become a cornerstone in healthcare services throughout Jharkhand, operating 24 hours once emergency services commence at Deoghar AIIMS.
