Medicine Shortage Cripples Wellness Centers in Nalgonda and Khammam

Employees, pensioners, and their dependents are bearing the brunt of a severe medicine shortage at Wellness Centers across Nalgonda and Khammam districts in Telangana.

Impact on Access to Essential Medications

The shortage includes vital life-saving drugs, forcing individuals to purchase medications from external pharmacies at significantly higher prices, placing a substantial financial strain on already stretched budgets.

This disruption in healthcare services directly impacts the well-being of those reliant on these Wellness Centers for affordable and accessible medication.

Financial Burden on Vulnerable Groups

The rising cost of medicines due to the shortage is disproportionately affecting pensioners and lower-income employees who depend on the subsidized medications offered by the Wellness Centers.

Many are now faced with the difficult choice between essential healthcare and other necessities.
