Fortis to open rural retail outlets in India
Ranbaxy Group-promoted Fortis HealthWorld on Tuesday said it would open FHWL health stores across the country by tying-up with Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar.
Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar, a unit of DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd would serve as a platform for Fortis HealthWorld stores. Fortis healthWorld will be leveraging from the already operational 70 outlets of the Hariyali Kisaan Bazaar across India and would further help in opening 200 outlets, in the next 15 months, which DCM’s Hariyali plans to set up.
Fortis HealthWorld had already signed with DCM’s Hariyali to open the first store in Mandi Ahmedgarh in Punjab.
The stores would have features like OPD facility, telemedicine, routine pathology tests, collection centres, OTC, alternative medicines (ayurveda and homoeopathy) and would also have veterinary medicine, Fortis said in a release.
