Srikakulam district chairman of Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) P. Jaganmohana Rao on Sunday urged patients to buy generic medicines available at affordable prices at Jana Aushadi store, located at IRCS office near Gandhi Park.

On the successful completion of the fifth year of the store, IRCS organised a medical camp in Srikakulam to spread awareness among the public on the benefits of the drugs. He said the Centre also wanted establishment of such units across the country to benefit the poor.

“Generic medicines work in the same way as branded ones and provide all clinical benefits,” he said.
