Oral hypoglycemic drugs were available in

 None of the BHUs had the ear drops.
Conclusion
After takeover of BHUs by PPHI, still not all
essential drugs are available at every BHU in
Larkana district.
Particularly Vitamin A, ORS, Eye & Ear drops are
not available in all centers.
Recommendation
Hence they should be made available
at every BHU, so that these essential
drugs can be provided to patients
requiring them.
