Janlok Diagnostic Centre
Poor quality health services are holding back progress on improving health in countries at all income levels.
Today, inaccurate diagnosis, medication errors, inappropriate or unnecessary treatment, inadequate or unsafe clinical facilities or practices, or providers who lack adequate training and expertise prevail in all countries.
The situation is worst in low and middle-income countries where 10 percent of hospitalized patients can expect to acquire an infection during their stay, as compared to seven percent in high-income countries. This is despite hospital-acquired infections being easily avoided through better hygiene, improved infection control practices, and appropriate use of antimicrobials. At the same time, one in ten patients is harmed during medical treatment in high-income countries
To tackle this Arogya Sena has established Janlok Diagnostic Center at Pune which provides ultra-modern diagnostic facilities to all at a subsidized rate.

Janlok Medicals
India is a densely populated country. Drug pricing is a major issue in India. In India, where very few people have health insurance, 70% of Indians pay for healthcare expenses out of their own pockets. India is well known for importing low-cost quality generic medicines to more than two hundred countries in the world. At home, however, India faces the challenge of equal access to affordable and quality essential medicines for its own population.
Arogya Sena has established a chain of Generic Medical shops, Janlok Medicals, across Maharashtra to make available standard cheaper medicines to all.
