Drugs at doorstep for RGHS beneficiaries

Jaipur: Factoring in the rising number of accidents, finance minister Diya Kumari announced 25 advance life support ambulances during her Interim Budget speech.

Besides, Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) beneficiaries will get cashless medicines at doorsteps. The state government will speed up work of 15 medical colleges, the building of which is yet to be completed.

“Keeping in view the rising number of deaths in road accidents, advance life support ambulances are proposed in the next financial year to save life of the accident victims on national highways,” she said. She criticised the Congress government for not utilising the funds released by the Centre for the construction of 15 medical colleges.
