Delhi hospitals told to centralize procurement of medicines, medical devices
In a move to streamline the procurement of medicines and medical devices, the Delhi government has directed all state-run hospitals to buy consumables and medicines through the Central Procurement Agency (CPA), according to officials.
Earlier, hospitals either used to make direct purchases or used the cart feature on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal, which led to inflated prices, the officials said.
