Chhattisgarh: In addition to colds, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, primary health centers in Chhattisgarh will now offer patients medications for diabetes, thyroid, and blood thinning. Currently, these medications are only available at district and medical colleges. Therefore, patients suffering from these conditions must frequently travel to city medical colleges or district hospitals far from their villages. Availability of these medications in village hospitals will provide relief to patients.

The Health Department has expanded
the list of essential medicines. Primary health centers will now supply 247 medicines from 146, and community health centers will supply 365 medicines from 196.

146 types of medicines will also be available at sub-health centers.
It should be noted that currently, sub-health centers only provide medicines for common colds. Now, like primary health centers, they will supply 146 types of medicines. These medicines will also include antibiotics and pain injections. This means that the treatment currently available at primary health centers will now be provided at sub-health centers.

Patients will receive relief.
Meanwhile, in rural areas, patients often face difficulties due to a shortage of medicines. Having medicines for serious illnesses available near their homes will provide relief to patients. A review will also be conducted to determine if there are any shortcomings in this experiment. If any shortcomings are found, they will be addressed to ensure the system operates efficiently.
