GENESIS
The branded (Generic) medicines are sold at significantly higher prices than their un-branded generic equivalents, though are identical in the therapeutic value.
Given the widespread poverty across the country, making available reasonably priced quality generic medicines in the market would benefit everyone. With this objective, the Pharma Advisory Forum in its meeting held on 23rd April, 2008,
decided to launch the Jan Aushadhi Campaign - starting with the sale of generic medicines through dedicated sales outlets called
Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra in various districts of the country. It is proposed that at least
one PMBJK will be opened in each of the 630 districts of the country to be
extended to sub-divisional levels as well as major towns and village centers.
The Pharmaceutical industry has evolved from merely Rs.1500 crores in 1980 to more than Rs.1,19,000 crores
by 2012. Medicines in almost every therapeutic category are sold primarily as branded drugs, at
disproportionately very high prices.
80% of out-patient care and 60% of all in-hospital care occurs at private facilities in India and majority of
households are exposed to a private-sector market to buy drugs (Public Health Foundation of India, 2012).
According to NSO estimates, upto 79% of health care expenses in rural areas are due to the cost of medicines.
Thus, access to low-priced generic drugs is very critical in ensuring health care at affordable prices.
Ensuring availability of quality medicines at affordable prices to all has been the key objective of the
Department of Pharmaceuticals, Government of India. Hence, the Department has decided to launch a
nation-wide campaign viz. 'Jan Aushadhi' as a direct market intervention strategy.
