Frequently asked questions
Which is the best way for veterans to get medicines?
It depends on your situation. Entitled medicines are free at your ECHS polyclinic when in stock; for shortages, convenience, chronic refills or home-bound patients, pharmacist-verified home delivery with cash on delivery is usually the simplest.
Are generic (same-salt) medicines reliable?
Licensed generics must meet the same quality and strength standards as branded medicines, and they often cost much less. See our branded vs generic comparison.
