Health
Hundreds of cartons filled with various emergency health care items were found lying unused during a raid at the Central Medical Store Depot (CMSD).
Health Minister Dr Samanta Lal Sen inspected the depot today (25 February), accompanied by Health Services Department Secretary Md Jahangir Alam and DGHS Director General ABM Khurshid Alam.
Coming across irregularities, the health minister directed the depot officials to submit a report in the next five days explaining why such a large number of goods have been wasted.
In the report, he also asked to include a list of all the existing goods, on which date they were delivered here and when other goods will be delivered in future.
He also asked Jahangir Alam and ABM Khurshid Alam to hold an emergency meeting to collect the report and take appropriate measures accordingly.
Earlier today, the minister said the health ministry will conduct raids on hospitals across the country to supervise the management.
