"We found people seldom get any medicine and are always asked to bring medicines from outside the concerned hospitals. Some medicines are provided in the emergency unit and when admitted in the ward patient is asked to buy medicines from outside the Hospital", he added.

Please reopen Chopra Nursing Home in GMC Jammu for the benefit of those who can afford to pay for better health services. They have to stand in que along with other general patients or with some approach, get VIP treatment for which it depends on the category of VIP, Otherwise nobody wants to talk to you even", he added. |
