Shutters down on private pharmacy at PGI Emergency, attendants hassled
Hindustan TimesThe attendants of patients admitted at the emergency ward of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research have been facing a tough time sourcing medicines for the last three days as a private pharmacy operating here has brought its shutters down following the end of its contract. A Ludhiana resident, whose mother is admitted at the emergency ward, said, “My mother is in a critical condition, and I find myself running from one shop to another for medicines. Previously, the shop was conveniently located inside, but now I have to obtain medicines from the ground floor chemist shop at Nehru Hospital.” Jaspreet Singh, another attendant, highlighted a significant challenge they are facing, stating that obtaining injections has become problematic. Certain injections are unavailable at the AMRIT shops within the hospital, compelling them to go to private chemist shops in Sector 11, opposite PGI.
