Government’s failure to release budget this year to purchase the medicines has made the matter worse, he said.


“We were waiting for the budget to purchase the medicines. The stock is finished now, but the budget is yet to arrive,” he said. 


He informed that the hospital development committee had taken initiatives to purchase the medicines by holding consultations with local bodies.
