A government scheme providing affordable generic medicines:

Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana
Ayushman Bharat
Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana
Employees' State Insurance Scheme

The correct answer is A) Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana.

Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP) is a government scheme that provides affordable generic medicines at all Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Kendras (PMBJKs). PMBJKs are retail outlets that are set up by the government to provide quality generic medicines at affordable prices. The scheme was launched in 2008 and has since expanded to cover all states and union territories in India.

The objective of PMBJP is to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to the people of India. The scheme offers a wide range of generic medicines at prices that are up to 90% cheaper than the market rates. The medicines are available at all PMBJKs, which are located in government hospitals, community health centers, and other public places.

To avail the benefits of PMBJP, a patient needs to have a valid prescription from a registered doctor. The prescription must be in the name of the patient and must specify the name of the medicine, the dosage, and the duration of treatment. The patient can then purchase the medicine from any PMBJK by submitting the prescription.

PMBJP has been a major success in providing affordable and accessible healthcare to the people of India. The scheme has helped to reduce the cost of medicines and has made them available to even the poorest sections of the society. PMBJP has also helped to improve the quality of life of the people by reducing the burden of out-of-pocket expenses on healthcare.

The other options are not government schemes that provide affordable generic medicines.

Option B, Ayushman Bharat, is a government scheme that provides health insurance to the poor and vulnerable sections of the society.

Option C, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, is a government scheme that provides health insurance to the families of the insured persons.

Option D, Employees’ State Insurance Scheme, is a government scheme that provides health insurance to the employees of the organized sector.
