The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, recently implemented comprehensive changes to its procurement process following a high-profile scam linked to the Ayushman Bharat scheme, where funds were allegedly misappropriated through the use of forged bills and records of deceased patients.
The institute has decided to eliminate third-party vendors from the procurement chain for implants and medical consumables.
Under the new system, all transactions related to surgeries and specialised treatments under cashless schemes will be conducted directly between the hospital and authorized manufacturers or in-house pharmacies, leaving no scope for private intermediaries to interact with the medical staff.
