Daily Health Drugstore, a national retail pharmacy chain, has opened its first special charity drugstore in Hangzhou.
This store is the fifteenth chain store for Daily Health Drugstore in Hangzhou. But unlike its other outlets, this store provides poor consumers 50 types of medicine at zero profit.
Xie Xiaowei, assistant to the president of the Administration Department of Daily Health Drugstore, says that the affordable medicines are mainly offered to the elderly, poor, handicapped and unemployed who can buy the medicine with documents testifying that they fall into the corresponding low-income categories.
Xie says that Daily Health Drugstore plans to invest RMB300,000 to subsidize the selling of these zero-profit medicines as a way of easing the poor patients' burdens.
