The Rajasthan government has taken strict action against six pharmaceutical stores for alleged irregularities under the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS). The move comes as part of the state’s ongoing efforts to ensure transparency, accountability and proper implementation of public health welfare schemes.
Rajasthan Government Takes Action Against Six Pharma Stores Over RGHS Irregularities
According to official sources, the action was initiated after inspections and audits revealed violations of RGHS norms by the concerned medical stores. These irregularities reportedly included procedural lapses, misuse of scheme provisions and non-compliance with prescribed guidelines.
RGHS is a flagship healthcare scheme aimed at providing cashless medical treatment
The RGHS is a flagship healthcare scheme aimed at providing cashless medical treatment and affordable medicines to government employees, pensioners and their dependents. Any compromise in its execution directly affects beneficiaries and undermines public trust, officials said.
Health department authorities stated that disciplinary measures were taken following a detailed review process. The government has reiterated that no leniency will be shown towards entities found exploiting welfare schemes meant for public benefit. Further investigations are also underway to identify whether similar violations exist at other empanelled medical outlets.
The Rajasthan government has instructed health officials to intensify monitoring and inspections of RGHS-linked pharmacies across the state. Officials added that strengthening oversight mechanisms is crucial to prevent financial irregularities and ensure quality healthcare delivery.
The action against the six pharma stores sends a strong message that misuse of public health schemes will not be tolerated. The state government has urged beneficiaries to report any discrepancies or overcharging related to RGHS services.
