Pharmacy of the clinic will provide prescribed medicines to the patients at the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) rates.”

Soon, nine such centres will be made operational in different parts of the city. Out of these four centres will start operating within this month.

After eye test, we would provide spectacles starting at Rs 40. Two experienced dentists at the clinic will provide treatment to all types of dental problems.”
