But as they say happiness, joy and sorrow and expenses are relative! For her, an old lady, dependent on her family’s income of a few thousand, medical expenses are sure something which they would want to avoid or at least reduce. In this case, there have been times where avoidance was considered to be the best choice.One fine day, Prabhawati came across PharmEasy through one of the camps we had set up. Once we learned of her situation, she was immediately briefed about our discounted medicines. Ever since then, she has been using her son’s phone to download the app and make purchases.

Discount on Medicines Changes Lives: Dharavi Files

Life hasn’t been easy for our Mrs. Pa, who is currently battling tumor and tuberculosis. She is also battling paying off her medical bills which run into thousands. The shining ray of her life is the beautiful and loving family she is a part of, and that love is evident as she was speaking to us too. Battered by the disease yet her heart is as young and smiling. A simple discount on medicines aiming at better healthcare changed her life completely.  

Mrs. Pa is an epitome of wisdom that comes to you only through the many years you have spent– as a child, a youngster, a married lady, a mother and now, a grandmother. Apart from her thin, wrinkled skin and greyed hair, there is little that gives away the battle she is fighting every day, with life.

She was diagnosed with brain tumor few years ago, and her tuberculosis was revealed soon after. With monthly expenditures to the tune of Rs 16,000 – 18,000 a month and she is dependent on her family to take care of her.

In a state of deteriorating body; we met her at our camp with her daughter-in-law who held her hand, and there we could see all the love in the family that’s needed for a person, to help get through, to survive life.

PharmEasy, in their own way, has been a big help to the family, providing discounts on medicines of 20%, along with delivery at the doorstep. The money she saves from the medicines now goes into buying gifts for her grandchildren.

PharmEasy Dharavi File : Helping You In Need


How do you keep yourself motivated when each hour of your day is all about getting that next meal on the table, with age not on your happy side anymore and life to survive and find some lost joy? Here is the story from PharmEasy Dharavi File of MPK Babu and how PharmEasy is making smiles happen, and gathering many positive vibes and stories to share and inspire.

MPK Babu’s story talks about how the incorrect diagnosis and lack of foresight can rip you off all your savings. With nowhere to go, Babu Sir lost all his money and was left with no clear direction of what he was suffering from. He got embroiled into the vicious cycle of routine visits to the neighbourhood hospital where he spent all his much hard-earned money through laborious toil in the hope to figure out the disease he was suffering from.

As soon as PharmEasy learned of his condition, we recommended him to a partner clinic for a diagnosis and helped ease the burden of the medicine costs via the PharmEasy Application. We also learned that he had no phone, so we provided him with one with the help of one of our partners, who was kind enough to provide him access to the phone, and order medicines on his behalf.

With daily wage earnings of about Rs 200-250, even the savings of a few hundreds have been mighty helpful to him, taking away a few hours of extra labour work and more time to the body to heal.

Even a tiny initiative can change the world of one person. Babu Sir is hopeful that he will regain his health back to normal and we at PharmEasy make it easier for people like him by providing better healthcare savings and share their inspirational story with the help of PharmEasy Dharavi File  !
