IGMH “wasted” Rf10 million on unused supplies
10 Nov 2009, 8:45 AM
Poor maintenance and management of supplies at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) in the past led to waste of over Rf10 million (US$778,200), Mohamed Zubair, the hospital’s CEO revealed.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Zubair said the hospital’s material management system was not properly utilised when the board took over in June and equipment at storage did not tally with the system.
“Our system shows that about Rf10 million has been wasted on medical supplies and other related items,” he said, adding the waste could be reduced when the system was properly used.
He added about 95 per cent of the work on tallying the items has now been completed.
