The CS has directed officials to ensure any of the items not present in the kits are made available to patients.

The kit includes a pulse oximeter, digital thermometer, steamer, hand sanitiser, giloy tablets, vitamin C tablets, vitamin D3 tablets, zinc tablets, topcid, amunity plus liquid, Doxycylin tablets, Ivermectin tablets, Dolo tablets, multivitamin tablets, cough syrup, Betadyne gargle, Levo Cetirizine tablets, face masks and a large balloon. Patients are also advised to use fresh tulsi leaves.
