The in-house drug bank at SAT Hospital from where medicines are dispensed will not function from October 10 to 16 for the annual stock-taking of medicines.
The stock at the pharmacy and the quantity of medicines entered into the computer will be compared, the hospital superintendent has said. The move is to bring in more efficiency. Medicines could be purchased from the paying counter at Government Medical College Hospital or the Karunya pharmacy during this period.
Life-saving medicines that are not available elsewhere could be accessed by contacting the in-house drug bank medical officer.
