Revised guidelines for the issue of medicines at CGHS Wellness Centres

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has issued revised guidelines for the issue of generic/branded medicines at CGHS Wellness Centres. Accordingly, the medicines prescribed by the specialists will be supplied by the CGHS as per the available generic name at the CGHS Wellness Centre. In case the medicine is available by an alternative brand name having the same composition, it will be supplied by the brand name available at CGHS Wellness Centre. If the medicine  prescribed by the specialist is not available at the CGHS Wellness Centre either by generic name or alternate brand name, it will be indented by the same brand name through authorized local chemist.
