It is reported that the Union Alliance of Doctors for Medical and Civil Rights stated that the Ministry of Health is working to buy some other categories of drugs including antibiotics and anesthetics, claiming that they are once again emergency drug purchases.
Its chairman expert Dr. Chamal Sanjeeva said that it is problematic to propose to buy them suddenly when there is enough in the relevant hospitals and medical supply unit’s warehouse according to the data system of the Ministry of Health.
“It can be seen that instead of giving priority to the purchase of ordinary medicines, the process of buying emergency medicines is continuing. Confirming this, information has been published regarding another emergency purchase mechanism. Strong antibiotics and anesthetics are purchased in an emergency. It is clear from the relevant letters of the Ministry of Health that the Minister of Health held a discussion with the State Pharmaceutical Corporation and the Medical Supply Unit and decided to do so. One of the special features of this is that when we take the medicines mentioned in the proposals for these emergency purchases, most of those medicines are according to the data of the Ministry of Health. According to the data systems, it can be seen that according to the system, it is currently available in hospitals and the central storage of the medical supply unit. This is very questionable. Therefore, we are telling the president that an immediate presidential investigation should be conducted in connection with the tender procedure for the emergency purchase of drugs including powerful antibiotics. “
