"JKMSC had claimed that all drugs and other items would be provided to all government hospitals in January 2016 and also imposed restriction on hospitals management not to purchase drugs from December 31st because the Corporation was to provide the same,
Sources claimed that number of times the issue was brought to the notice of senior officials of Health and Medical Department Jammu and Kashmir as well as JKMSC about the limited stock of drugs available in all government hospitals, but not even single medicine has been provided by the said department so far owing to which the poor patients are deprived of them.
