We are all aware of the corruption that has been unmasked in our ministry. We are aware that the cases are under scrutiny by the ACC though not much update on what exactly is happening. We only know that some people have been suspended from their offices. Lets leave this for the ACC to dig and do the appropiate!
But the impact is not just corruption! It is creating some pertinent problems in patient management. Many essential and emergency drugs are out of stock and the DVED says it cannot procure until the ACC sorts things out. Today, I had no Phenobarbitone to control a childs convulsions. Yesterday , I had no dexamethasone to treat a child with stridorous viral croup. Ventilator and ABG machine spare parts cannot be procured.
So what if the ACC takes a couple of years to sort things out? Who will be responsible if a loose a child due to unavailability of some essential /emergency drug? Me? Ministry? DVED? ACC? I am lost!
