Dr Ann Liebert, Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney, visited the Jan Aushadhi Kendra at AIIMS, New Delhi, to gain insights into the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP). Talking to the Media, Dr Liebert said that is an amazing initiative that can be represented in many countries. She added that there are many remote communities in Australia that do not have easy access to pharmacies, and this model of PMBJP could be followed there to provide affordable medicine.
She also commended the efforts of the central government in ensuring affordable and high-quality medicines reach citizens. She emphasized that universal access to essential medicines is critical for public health and expressed her appreciation for India’s commitment to this cause.
