Chhattisgarh Healthcare Under Scrutiny: CGMSC Halts Use of Substandard Drugs and Supplies

Chhattisgarh’s healthcare system faces renewed scrutiny. The CGMSC has ordered a halt to the distribution of certain drugs and medical supplies across the state. The order immediately prohibits the supply and use of two types of injections and four types of surgical gloves. These actions follow the discovery that Dextrose with Sodium Chloride injections and Ceftriaxone powder for injection were substandard, thus putting patients at risk. Concerns have also been raised regarding the quality of surgical gloves, prompting their suspension. This has caused a stir in hospitals across the state. The decision prioritizes patient safety. Action against the suppliers responsible is anticipated. The public and healthcare workers have expressed concern and are calling for stricter monitoring.
