Hospital staff, chemists trade charges
Ludhiana, September 9 The CMCH management, however, has refuted the allegation, saying none of the life saving drugs was in short supply and further that the problems raised by medicine suppliers to the hospital pharmacy were being addressed at the appropriate level. According to Mr
B.M. Frederick, general secretary of the union, over 200 life saving drugs and antibiotics were not available at the CMCH pharmacy. With the result that the patients or their attendants had to buy most of the medicines from chemist shops outside the hospital and had to pay the maximum retail price (MRP) as against much lower price usually charged at the hospital pharmacy since medicines were supplied at special ‘hospital prices’ by the wholesale chemists. The fact that the CMCH pharmacy was not being supplied medicines in the required quantity by authorised distributors of the pharmaceutical companies and wholesale chemists here was evident from a letter written by Mr
G.S. Chawla, general secretary of the Wholesale Chemists Association, to the Medical Superintendent of the CMCH on August 25, 2005. Expressing anguish over delayed payments of the members, Mr Chawla observed in the letter that the management had apparently not appreciated the problem being faced by the suppliers over the inordinate delay in the release of payment worth several crores. The association, while seeking immediate intervention of the CMCH authorities, has demanded that a clear-cut time frame be evolved for payment of bills on account of supply of medicines to the hospital pharmacy so that supply of medicines could be maintained in an uninterrupted manner. The CMCH Medical Superintendent, Dr John Abraham, has maintained that out of nearly 2200 formulations, available at the pharmacy, only a few were out of stock and none of them were life-saving drugs. He said the issues raised by the chemists’ body were being looked into. He further claimed that Mr Frederick was not an employee of the institution and was not, in any manner, connected with the
CMCH.

Dogra stops shifting of ESI dispensary
Mandi Ahmedgarh, September 9 Mr Arun Goel, General Manager (HRD), Shryans Industries Limited, said the minister had directed the health authorities that the dispensary located here should not be shifted. “When we apprised the Health Minister of the circumstances under which the authorities had decided to shifted the ESI dispensary to a far off place, he felt so concerned about the well being of the workers and their families that he made the orders on the representation received from us and directed the authorities accordingly,” explained Mr Goel. The workers and managements of industrial units here had resented the government’s move to shift ESIC dispensaries to Jitwal. Mr Gurdev Raj Bhumbla and Mr Bal Krishan, president and secretary of the workers union (CITU), respectively, thanked the management for taking up the issue with the government.
