HLL-VSSC to open AMRIT pharmacies across VSSC campuses in Kerala

Thiruvananthapurm, May 6 (UNI) In a significant step to expand access to affordable medicines, the HLL Lifecare Limited and the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to open four new AMRIT (Affordable Medicines and Reliable Implants for Treatment) pharmacy outlets across VSSC campuses in Kerala.
The new outlets will be established at Vattiyoorkavu, Valiyamala, Veli, and Aluva campuses and are expected to benefit over 38,000 VSSC employees, pensioners, and their families.
The initiative comes at a time when the AMRIT pharmacy network, launched in 2015, marks its 10th year of providing affordable and accessible healthcare solutions.
The development also coincides with the Diamond Jubilee of HLL, which is commemorating the milestone with a refreshed brand identity for the AMRIT pharmacy network.
Senior officials from both organisations were present at the MoU signing, including Madhu Madhavan, Regional Manager (RBD -South), Renji Samuel, SM (RBD) HLL; and from VSSC, Vinod Kumar N., Associate Director (Projects) and Deputy Director, ASOE; Dr. Asraff A.K., Associate Director; Manoj C., Chief Controller; Anand K., Deputy Director, MSA; Beena P., Senior Head, ACC/IFA; Prasad K., Senior Head, P&S; and Hari K.N., Head, P&GA.
The AMRIT initiative, under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and implemented by HLL, has significantly improved access to essential and life-saving medicines for patients with chronic and critical illnesses.
Since its inception, the network has served more than 600 lakh patients and facilitated estimated savings exceeding Rs 6,500 crore.
With over 220 outlets operating nationwide, the addition of the VSSC campuses is expected to further bolster the AMRIT footprint in Kerala.
HLL has also integrated digital tools and home delivery services to enhance user convenience and service efficiency across the pharmacy chain.
