Health Minister Veena George has taken exception to the statement made by Leader of the Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan, quoting the CAG report, that the lives of patients had been put on peril through the supply of date-expired medicines in government hospitals
At a press conference here, Ms. George said that Mr. Satheesan’s pronouncement did not behoove that of a responsible Opposition Leader.
“Mr. Satheesan should not have said that, because in one swipe he condemned the entire health system and has put fear and anxiety in the minds of the public that their lives were put at risk. The government is not supplying date-expired medicines to public hospitals.,” she said.
