After check-up, doctors on duty hand over the prescription to patients with directions to buy medicines from market, people told APP here. When contacted, officials of the department said medicines were not available with them.
It was also learnt that despite tall claims of the health department officials, including its secretary, the provision of free treatment at emergency departments of public sector hospitals in the province could not be made possible.
