Doc suspended for prescribing costly drugs in Rajasthan

A government doctor was on Friday suspended for prescribing costly branded medicines to patients despite availability of free generic versions in the hospital in Bikaner.

Dr P C Tanwar posted at government hospital Nokha in Bikaner district was suspended after verification of complaints, Principal Secretary-Medical B N Sharma said. He used to prescribe branded medicines in most of the cases so the patients had to purchase costly drugs from medical stores outside the hospital instead of getting them in the hospital for free under government schemes, he said. The branded medicines were available in the hospital as generic medicines for free,he said.

Under the Chief Ministers free medicines scheme,generic medicines are made available for free in all the hospitals across the state.
