Meet Ajay 50, who runs a small roadside tea stall in Patna. He developed chronic kidney disease in 2021. The doctor said he needed medicine to keep his kidneys functioning properly, or else things could get critical. At first, Ajay didn’t take it seriously. But after an emergency hospital visit, he realized the medicines were now a part of his life—forever. The problem? They cost him nearly ₹3,000 every month. But for someone earning so little, he considered stopping the treatment altogether, but his wife begged him not to. She started cutting back on groceries, selling jewelry—anything to make ends meet. One day, a regular customer at the tea stall suggested looking into an online platform like “Medlr” for medicines. They found his kidney meds for nearly 35% less. He placed his first order with hope. He couldn’t believe the difference it made as the money they saved allowed them to buy essentials for the house again. Affordable medicines are a lifeline for someone like Ajay, whose life depends on long-term treatment. It’s not just about health—it’s about survival.
