GMSH lacked sanitary material in second half of 2014-15: Audit report

The audit has mentioned, “The scrutiny of the records of the store revealed that the department had procured the sanitary material during the year 2014-15, but the requirements of the department/wards were not assessed properly.”

The list of items as mentioned in the audit report are phenyl, Gel Magic (insecticide), room freshener and rat killer.

The audit has pointed out that although the hospital is infested with rats, which might cause infections among indoor patients, rat killers were not procured during the year.

In their reply, the department has stated that the sanitary material was issued in advance to different wards for the whole year and there was shortage only for one month, which was met by the hospital.

However, the hospital has produced no documents to validate the same.
