PATIALA, INDIA, June 15, 2003: From having practically no medicines for nearly four years at a stretch, hundreds of Ayurvedic dispensaries across the state will now be supplied Ayurvedic preparations through the state of the art machinery being installed at its only state pharmacy here. Three years after a grant was released by the Center for strengthening state pharmacies, the Punjab Government has released money to the dispensary for the installation of new machines as well as for carrying out massive renovations of its pre-independence building parts which had been declared unsafe. The pharmacy will also be able to make around 15 formulations for various ailments instead of the meager four to five formulations supplied to government dispensaries every year.
