Medicines at rural doorsteps: CSC set to partner PharmEasy

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) run Common Service Centres (CSC) and online pharmaceuticals and medicine delivery platform PharmEasy are likely to announce a tie-up in coming days, sources in the know of the development told The Indian Express.

As a part of the plan, PharmEasy will look to use the extensive network of CSCs to expand its presence in rural areas to offer home delivery of medicines, pharmaceutical and self-testing diagnostic kits for serious infections such as Covid-19. It will also offer testing services for other conditions such as blood-sugar and blood-pressure, sources said.
