The Jan Aushadi Kendra, a health partnership project, aims to supply cost-effective, made-in-India medicines to enhance public healthcare and well-being in Mauritius. The initiative aims to accomplish a promise made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this year.

“Sometimes, there can be small steps, little projects, but to the community, they can make a very big difference. In this community, for example, its entire health needs will change after this clinic comes up,” the minister said.
