Hyderabad, Oct. 21 The Medicine Shoppe, a branded retail pharmacy chain of Dublin-based Cardinal Health, is looking beyond Mumbai and is planning to launch operations in Pune and Hyderabad.

“Though I do not wish to give any timeframe, Pune and Hyderabad are our priority locations after Mumbai to start ‘Sehat’ model of retail pharmacy stores targeted at the urban poor,” Mr Viraj Gandhi, Managing Director and CEO, Medicine Shoppe, told Business Line here.

The target was to set up over 500 pharmacies-cum-clinics over the next three to five years. “Out of this, about 100 could be in Mumbai while the rest of them will come up in other cities,” he added.

The focus on Sehat would not mean neglect of tapping urban potential. “That will go on any way,” he explained.
