Date expired medicines
Thank you very much for your news item (5.4.06 page 1) "Date Expired Fluid used for Kidney Dialysis Seized." Hospital is not a business as usual. People go to hospital with a hope to live. Using date expired medicines is a serious threat to patients. It is a matter of great concern.
The report clearly exposed the quality of health care services of the country. It is negligence from procurement to infusion into body. During procurement nobody examined the expiry date in the central store or the hospital. Supervision systems are also not operating. Finally it is a rule of thumb that the doctor and nurse must examine the expiry date. It was not done. All concerned proved that they are not capable of performing their duties.
