Zelthy Specialty Pharmacy launches Medicine Financing Program in India

Zelthy Specialty Pharmacy (www.zelthy.com), a Gurgaon company, has launched an EMI based financing program at attractive interest rates on specialty medicines for patients across India. Zelthy caters to pharmacy needs of patients with complex chronic conditions. These patients usually require medicines that are not easily available at a neighbourhood pharmacy, are difficult to administer and are expensive, often costing over Rs 50,000 per month. Some of the focus therapy areas for Zelthy include hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, etc. Specialty pharmacy market is India was estimated at 1 Billion USD by value in 2015, 30% of which is comprised of medicines taken at home or in an out-patient setting. The specialty segment is the fastest growing segment in the Indian pharmaceutical market growing annually at over 30% CAGR. Specialty pharma market in India is expected to be a USD 5 billion market by 2020.

Zelthy is more than a routine pharmacy. Through its mobile based technologies, Zelthy runs patient support programs for its patient population, helping them better navigate through their treatment. A dedicated care manager and a pharmacist works with each patient to make sure that the patient understands his treatment, side effects of the medicine and their management and that the patient adheres to his medication regimen. Disease experts regularly counsel patients and their families. Zelthy also regularly updates patient’s physicians on the patient’s progress with his treatment.

“While we are working to make specialty medicines easily available and to improve treatment outcomes, we realize that affordability is a major barrier for patients in India. Unlike western economies, India is largely a self-payor market. Our medicine financing program ensures that right treatment can be made affordable for all sections of the society.” said Anshuman Chaudhary, Co-founder at Zelthy.

Zelthy (www.zelthy.com) is India’s first specialty pharmacy. It runs medicine refill and disease management programs for patients with complex chronic conditions. Zelthy currently serves more than 200 patients per month.
