Med supply improves, 60% available across hospitals, rest on way
The Free Press Journal - Mumbai
|January 22, 2026
Amid continued complaints about medicine shortages in the BMC hospitals, the civic administration has claimed that the implementation of the Red Circular (RC) procurement system has led to a marked improvement in drug supply.
According to officials, more than 60% of essential medicines are currently available across major municipal hospitals, while the remaining supplies are being restored in phases.
Medicines for all civic hospitals are procured collectively through the central procurement department based on consolidated demand. However, hospitals — from KEM Hospital to peripheral facilities - have faced an acute shortage of medicines over the past year. The administration has now stated that the situation is expected to stabilise soon.
