Late supply of drugs with short shelf life led to ₹11 cr loss: CAG
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|December 11, 2024
THE belated supply of various drugs, which have a short shelf life, to the Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation (TNMSC) resulted in medicines worth ₹11.12 crore expiring while in stock itself from 2016-21.
This was revealed by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India in its audit report on the performance of the Health Department.
According to the CAG, as many as 185 manufacturers supplied the TNMSC with 1,447 drugs that were produced much earlier than the stipulated 30-day window prior to supply. This production window is mandated in the tender conditions, failing which, the supplier was required to replace the expired quantity with stock having a longer shelf life.
