CAG points out several shortcomings in AYUSH department in Delhi
New Delhi: Barring one facility, none of the AYUSH hospitals had yoga and naturopathy amenities due to inadequate space, though the website of Delhi government's AYUSH department claimed them as available, the CAG has pointed out.
In its report for financial year 2016-2017, tabled in the Delhi Assembly, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) also highlighted that Ayurvedic and Unani dispensaries were provided with only 40 percent of essential medicines between 2012-17.
"Forty-three percent of essential medicines were not available in homeopathic dispensaries at any given time during the period 2012-17," the report said.
The CAG, in its report, said that "except in Ch. Brahm Prakash Ayurvedic Charak Sansthan, none of the AYUSH hospitals had yoga and naturopathy facilities due to inadequate space though website of Delhi government, Directorate of AYUSH, is displaying yoga and naturopathy as available services".
