Established in 1966, HLL Lifecare has evolved from focusing on population control to becoming a multi-product, multi-service healthcare enterprise. Through initiatives such as AMRIT Pharmacies, the company continues to provide affordable medicines and surgical products, reinforcing its commitment to equitable healthcare as it celebrates its 60th anniversary.
