These medicines have been purchased from a private company for next seven year to cope with this fatal disease. The medicines would be outdated in 2013.It is surprising to note that neither the private company is being paid nor medicines being used.The company says that the administration is keeping them in the limbo.On the other hand, District Officer Tariq Ramzan said that it had been decided in a meeting chaired by the CM Shahbaz Sharif that the administration would purchase only 25,000 kg out of 135,000 kg.
