On Friday, Health Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha reviewed plans to strengthen central medical stores, hospital pharmacies, and food safety measures. He instructed officials to complete work on the 22 newly established central medicine stores within a week.
State health department officials were directed to ensure complete information, from procuring medicines for government hospitals to delivering them to patients, is recorded online.
To improve efficiency, the minister announced the formation of ten task force teams to monitor medicine availability in government stores statewide. He also recommended conducting a workshop for pharmacists on utilizing the E-AUSHADI portal.
"The required medicines must be ordered from TGMSIDC in adequate quantities and delivered to central medical stores after procurement. Recipients should acknowledge the receipt of medicines with their signatures," the minister emphasized.
