Govt plans to give free medicines
In what could turn out to be a big leap forward for the people of India where out-of-pocket expense on medicines accounts for a major part of healthcare system, the UPA government today said it is ‘formulating a scheme for distribution of free medicines through Government hospitals and health centers’.
‘We are also formulating a scheme for distribution of free medicines through Government hospitals and health centers’, announced Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from the ramparts of Red Fort on the occasion of 66th Independence Day.
