Jaipur News Desk: At selected private medicine shops under Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS), government employees and pensioners are being turned back as medicines are unavailable. In many districts of the state, most of the patients associated with this scheme are not being given 50 to 90 percent of the medicines written on prescription as they are unavailable. On enquiry, the reply received from the drug sellers is that they are not getting full payment under this scheme from the state government.
