Minister tells CS to check medicine availability in Delhi govt hospitals and Mohalla Clinics
Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj has instructed the chief secretary to visit one government hospital and Mohalla Clinic daily during OPD hours to assess the availability of medicines firsthand. This move follows concerns raised about the scarcity of essential medications despite claims by officials that all necessary drugs are provided. Bharadwaj emphasized the need for transparency and directed the chief secretary to submit daily reports on the situation. The directive came after claims that the health secretary and chief secretary misled both the government and the legislative assembly regarding medicine availability. The issue was discussed in a recent assembly session where concerns were raised about shortages. Bharadwaj rejected excuses, asserting that supervising department secretaries falls under the chief secretary's purview.
