The meeting decided to constitute a committee to shortlist the vendors for providing drugs, consumables and procure stents, Pacemakers and other consumable from authorised vendors at the rates fixed by the Government.
After a threadbare discussion on refunding out of pocket expenditure to the beneficiaries of SEHAT programme, it was decided that in such cases the hospital may authorise to do DBT in the beneficiaries account.
