In a move to ensure patients have access to all necessary medications, the Sassoon Hospital administration in Pune has implemented a new policy. Doctors at the hospital are now instructed to not issue prescriptions for patients to purchase medicine from outside pharmacies.
The administration claims that this new initiative will ensure that essential medications are always available to patients within the hospital. This comes after recent complaints from patients about certain medications not being in stock at Sassoon Hospital.
A video circulating on social media showed a doctor advising a patient’s relative to buy medicine from a private store, sparking concerns about the availability of medications at the hospital. In response, the administration has introduced the ‘zero prescription’ directive to address these issues.
Officials have stated that steps are being taken to procure all necessary medications for the hospital, with some already in stock and the rest expected to arrive in the coming weeks. This policy aims to streamline the process of medication distribution within the hospital, eliminating the need for patients to purchase medicine from external sources.
