Last month, Delhi chief
minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced the scheme under which government
will provide free medicines at all its hospitals to patients from
February 1.
The government has also issued a helpline - 8745051111 - for registering complaints pertaining to any shortage in medicine supply via text message at government hospitals.
"We will launch a mobile application tomorrow through which people getting treatment at government-run hospitals can complain of non-availability of free medicines prescribed by the doctors. People will have to upload the picture of prescriptions through the app.
"Once the picture of non-availability of medicines is sent via this app, he or she will instantly get a message or call informing the complainant when these medicines will be available in the hospital," Jain told reporters here.
Similarly, complainants can also send the names of shortage of
medicines on 8745051111 via text message. Soon after, he or she will get
response and will be informed when the medicines prescribed by the
doctors will be available at the hospital.
On January 17, Kejriwal had announced to waive user charges at all government hospitals from February 1 and would make available medicines and diagnostic tests free of cost, using the money "saved" from three flyover projects.
He had made the announcement at the inauguration of an elevated corridor between Mangolpuri to Madhuban Chowk at Outer Ring Road, which he had said was built at the cost of Rs 300 crore, "well below the sanctioned cost of Rs 450 crore".
