AIIMS has launched a project to distribute free insulin to diabetes patients on World Diabetes Day. They have opened two counters at Amrit Pharmacy, where patients prescribed insulin from any AIIMS OPD can receive free vials. The counters will also provide written advice in Hindi and English for safe transport and storage of insulin. Frozen ice packs will be given to patients who need to travel long distances. Initially, insulin vials will be issued for a one-month treatment duration, which may be increased in the future. The cost of insulin depends on the type prescribed.
