Govt. issues SOP for private hospitals to address shortages
To streamline the supply of Remdesivir, a vital drug in the treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 cases, the State government has passed an SOP (standard operating procedure) to route its supply through the Assistant Director (AD) of drug control in every district. Visakhapatnam has been facing a severe shortage of Remdesivir for the past one week, and black marketers have been flourishing, during this period. The district is facing a shortage of at least 40%, says health officials. The issue has been taken up with the Health Minister and the Principal Secretary, health, and it has been decided that from Monday all private hospitals that are registered under Category A and B for treating COVID-19 cases, will put up an indent for Remdesivir with the AD on a daily basis and the latter will consolidate the indents and forward it to the Director General (DG) of drug control at the end of the day, said Collector V. Vinay Chand.
