The Bureau of Pharma Public Sector Undertakings of India (BPPI) under Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has been selling quality generic medicines at affordable prices in the name of Jan Aushadhi medicines since 2008. The scheme is being revisited by expanding medicines basket.
The Government is committed to ensure the quality of products to be procured and sold under the Jan Aushadhi brand. To ensure quality, samples of each batch of medicines are got tested from NABL accredited laboratory before put to sale.
To expand the network of sale and to reach out to all sections of the Society, it has been decided to permit sale of Jan Aushadhi Medicines through private retailers in addition to Government hospitals and Jan Aushadhi Stores. The details are being worked out.
To ensure regular and adequate supply of medicines, apart from procurement of medicines from the CPSUs, BPPI supplements supply by direct purchase of medicines from private sector companies through open tender process, as per the guidelines issued by Central Vigilance Commission.
An IT based management system has been installed to ascertain availability of medicines in stores / stockists on a real time basis. This is being further strengthened.
This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers Sh. Hansraj Gangaram Ahir in the Lok Sabha today.
