According to the complaint filed by the hospital’s non-medical head Jatin Negi, during an audit of IPD pharmacy drugs in February, it was revealed that six different types of injections were missing. The missing injections with their maximum retail price were Entherto of Rs 1,67,069, Avastin of Rs 1,23,506, Erbitux of Rs 21,250, Biomab of Rs 65,643, Versavo of Rs 55,005, and Innonza of Rs 3,30,000. The total value of six missing injections is Rs 7,62,473. “Any hospital staff could be behind the theft, as patients, their attendants or outsiders might not be aware of the high cost of these injections. We have checked CCTV footage but found no evidence of the theft so far,” Negi said in his complaint. An FIR was registered.
