Patients of BPL standard /poorer section of the society, suffering from various ailments commonly used to frequent free or charitable health centers for their treatment. Most of this dispensary provides a part of the prescribed medicine and or pathological / ECG test reports and advise them to procure the rest from out side facilities. But on most of the occasion the patient choose not to go for the rest of the prescribed medicine and or diagnostic test because of their poor financial status. As a result the patient failed to respond to the treatment. If this discussed patient is the sole bread winner for the entire family, we jolly well understand the consequences may happen to the family.
