Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme [Echs] — Non availability of medicines in cghs noida

Sir,
I have been diagnosed ckd/3b patient by nephrologists of kailash hospital noida. My serum creatninie was very high as on[protected]Serum creatinine as 2.36). However due to carelessness of specialists, i was referred to nephrologists only in sept.2015. The specialist dr m. D. Sharma prescribed lobun forte cap and other medicines. Since this med. Was not available in the pharmacy at ech noida, i was given alternative med. Cudo forte cap on the recommendation of the same specialist. Most of the time both these medicines were not available. I was told that these medicines are not in the prescribed list of the echs. I requested the oic to issue me the generic medicine. Since there is no specialist in the echs noida, they could not decide as to which alternative medicine can be given, hence no med. Was issued. However, sometimes they would do local purchase and give me med. For 10 days or 15 days. Balance, i used to purchase from the market. I have visited both afc and rr hosp. None of them have been able to help me. For the last few months, i am spending rs.[protected] every month. No reimbursement is being done. Both ifc and oic noida have shown their helplessness in the matter. I had apprised col. Khullar, registrar afc during his visit to echs noida in jan 2017, and he promised to look into the matter but so far nothing has happened. The recommended medicine has been very useful and my clinical conditioned has improved a lot. Now except serum creatinine all my kft parameters have become normal. Serum creatinine has also come down to 1.43 which is steady for the last 8 months
Sir, i am not in a position to purchase ctc med. Worth rs. 4000/- every month. Kindly arrange to provide it in echs noida or arrange to reimburse the amount spent by me. We joined the echs with the understanding that our medical treatment will be free. To start with conditions were alright but gradually things are deteriorating. I am an old veteran aged 77yrs. I am attaching the prescription and lab. Reports for your perusal. Thanks.
