Taking a serious view of negligence affecting patient welfare, Minister of State for Health and Medical Education Praful Pansheriya has ordered strict action against a junior pharmacist accused of not providing medicines to patients despite sufficient stock being available, as per a press release by the Chief Minister's office.
Following the minister's directions, an inquiry was conducted, which revealed that an adequate stock of medicines was available at Gandhinagar. Despite this, patients allegedly did not receive the required medicines. In connection with the matter, junior pharmacist Prashant Shrimali, posted in Visnagar, has been transferred to Kutch, and instructions have been issued to initiate a departmental inquiry against him, said the release. The Health Department reiterated its commitment to ensuring timely and quality healthcare services for patients across the state.
