Maha Govt to set up Medical Authority to procure medicines for Govt Hospitals
Nagpur: The state government is mulling setting up Maharashtra Medical Authority on the lines of the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority for regular supply of medicines and other items to medical colleges and hospitals in the state.
Medical Education Minister Girish Mahajan informed the Legislative Council that a decision will be taken in this regard soon.
MLC Pravin Datke raised the issue of problems faced by hospitals due to Haffkine's faulty operation of drug and machinery supply.

A decision to establish the Maharashtra Medical Authority on the lines of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority will be taken soon and added that the process of preparing the rules regarding the purchase of medicine is also underway.
