Experts study drug delivery in four States

IIT-M, Krea varsity study drug delivery methods in 4 states
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras and Krea University have recommended that States stagger their procurement orders instead of batching to boost their medical deliveries.
Their study of drug procurement and delivery in four States, for Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Odisha and Punjab, showed that the fill-rates could rise to 53% as compared to an average of 30.95% by following their recommendations.
These States procure essential medicines through State-level medical service corporations. Some states such as Kerala follow a centralised system while others such as Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Odisha follow a decentralised system.
