We express our sincere gratitude and pleasure towards P& RD Deptt., Health & Family Welfare Deptt. and Govt. of West Bengal for sanctioning AYUSH DISPENSARIES in various Gram Panchayats of state of West Bengal as part of NATIONAL RURAL HEALTH MISSION.

In most of our dispensaries out patients average is above 50 per day.

We would like to bring to your urgent attention that all Dispensaries are working WITHOUT COMPOUNDER CUM DRESSER and bare minimum infrastructure.

Most of our dispensaries are lacking adequate medicines and dispensing materials since Gram Panchayats not having enough funds. Hence kindly provide sufficient funds for infrastructure and medicines to run smoothly Dispensaries.
