The doctors in the Bhapur Government Hospital in Nayagarh district are not prescribing the affordable medicines available under the Niramaya scheme of the State Government. Local alleged that the doctors in the hospital are prescribing only one to two medicines available in the Niramaya store, where more than 200 types of medicines are available, and further are prescribing other medicines in a plane paper to be bought from private medicine stores.
The patients also said that they have to pay more to buy the medicines, prescribed by the doctors, from outside.
The locals demanded the district administration to take action against the doctors and direct them to prescribe the medicines which are available in the Niramaya store.
