SECL, a leading coal company, has inked an MoU with HLL Lifecare Ltd to establish Amrit Pharmacies in its hospitals, making it the first coal company to do so. Initially, Amrit stores will be set up at SECL HQ in Bilaspur and Central Hospitals in operational areas like Gevra, Sohagpur, and Chirimiri. These pharmacies aim to provide generic and life-saving drugs at subsidized rates, benefiting SECL employees and the public. The initiative is expected to reduce medical reimbursements, ensuring judicious use of resources while maintaining quality healthcare. Launched in 2015, the AMRIT scheme operates over 300 pharmacies nationwide, offering affordable medicines for various ailments.
