The initial investigations into the leakages of government medicines and their sale in the open market have revealed that two dispensers posted in Chandka Medical College Hospital (teaching block) Larkana were involved in the crime.
The Medical Superintendent of CMCH Larkana Dr Zulfikar Ali Siyal told media-men on Sunday that he has formed a three member committee headed by Chief Casualty Medical Officer of CMC Hospital Dr Abdul Nabi Shaikh, the Deputy Medical Superintendent of CMC Hospital Dr Abdul Nabi Hulio and Dr Abdul Majeed Jessar to probe into the matter of pilferage of government medicines from the hospital and trickling down in the open market.
