Conditions for reimbursement of cost of medicines

The cost of medicines purchased from the open market is reimbursable if the medicine was not available in the hospital store and a 'non-availability' certificate is obtained from the hospital authorities. The Government may from time to time issue orders regarding the scale of medical attendance, the list of recognized hospitals, and the conditions under which medical attendance is provided to Government servants. All such orders shall be read as part of these rules.
