RIMS should be self sufficient: HC pulls up hospital for failing to start its generic medicine center

Ranchi: The Jharkhand High Court has recently pulled up the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for failing to start its own centre for generic medicines on Thursday.
The court observed that it is essential for RIMS to be self-sufficient to cater to the needs of the vast number of patients who seek treatment in the facility.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dr. Ravi Ranjan and Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad was deliberating a PIL regarding the lack of infrastructure in the autonomous hospitals. The bench stated that outsourcing of different facilities is not acceptable considering that RIMS is responsible for providing healthcare facilities to a vast population.
Dawai Dost, dealing with generic medicines, was operating within the campus of RIMS. However, the hospital administration ordered it to cease its operations. Thereafter, Dawai Dost filed an intervention application and sought the court's direction to the RIMS authorities to allow it to operate on the hospital campus.
