ADVISORY NO - 13 : MEDICINES FOR VETERANS TRAVELLING ABROAD<br />

1. Prescribing medicines for long duration has been a subject matter of<br />

protracted debate at the Service HQ level. This has resulted in DGAFMS recently<br />

permitting issue of medicines for 60/90 days on a case to case basis provided that<br />

the treating doctor endorses that the “case does not require review for 60/90 days”.<br />

2. We are aware that in exceptional cases drugs may be required for even<br />

longer duration, when <strong>ECHS</strong> beneficiaries have to move abroad where medicines<br />

are not available without a medical prescription valid in that country. Considering<br />

such exceptional cases, SEMOs/OICs <strong>ECHS</strong> Polyclinic may, subject to concerned<br />

specialists endorsement, issue prescribed medicines for longer duration.<br />
