BAJURA, Jan 8: Shortage of medicines has been reported in the government health facilities in Bajura, a district in the Province 7.
The government provides 80 types of medicines to the needy free of cost, but the district-based health institutions do not have even the stock of paracetamol. Chiefs of such facilities have complained that the responsibility for the operation of health facilities has been transferred to the local levels which are yet to release budget to purchase required medicines.
