Superintendent of Indore's SSH removed over expired drug stock
Doctor Removed
Indore: The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College (MGM), Indore, has removed Dr Sumit Shukla from his role as Superintendent of the Super Speciality Hospital (SSH) and appointed Dr Ashok Yadav as in-charge superintendent with immediate effect after a late-night inspection uncovered expired and poorly stored medicines in the hospital’s drug store.
The inspection, led by Dean Dr Arvind Ghanghoria on August 10, revealed a large stock of expired drugs, including high-value cancer drugs, vaccines, surgical items and injections. Many of these medicines, worth nearly Rs 20 lakh, were found stored in improper conditions.
It was discovered that several drugs were kept at room temperature instead of a mandatory controlled environment. As a result, the inspection team seized all the expired and improperly stored items on the spot.
