ECHS: Acute shortage of Medicines in Polyclinic

Dear Sirs,
I wish to bring to your notice that there is an acute shortage of medicines at Loddhi Road Polyclinic. The notice board depicting NA medicines is getting bigger and bigger every time. The ESM at East Delhi has to travel about 14 kms to reach Polyclinic and to incur an expenditure of Rs 150 by auto. NA medicines are given only for ten days. Making three trips to get medicine means spending Rs 450 per month. The medicine prescribed on 1-8-2010 wee not available till 8-1-2010.

I request you to take up matter telephonically with concerned authority to ease the situation and subsequently at monthly meeting with following considerations:
  • CGHS has an arrangement whereby NA MEDICINES CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH CERTAIN DESIGNATED CHEMIST SHOPS. This is a great relief to the individuals and avoids undue rush at the Poly clinic. Can ECHS have similar arrangements?
  • Further at Poly clinic individuals are asked to shuttle around various doctors to get Local Purchase medicines approved for purchase.
  • In my opinion this job should be entrusted to Nursing assistant at dispensary who should get the consolidated approval and purchase the medicines.
    Regards,
    Lt Cdr Avtar Singh (Retd)
