Maharashtra Forms Squad to Combat Fake Hospital Medicines

The Maharashtra Health Department is creating special teams, called flying squads, to make sure the medicines in government hospitals are good quality and not fake.

These teams, led by a special officer, will visit hospitals and check the medicines on the spot using special machines.

If they find any bad medicines, the people responsible, including officials and suppliers, will face legal trouble.

This action comes after fake medicines were found in hospitals, causing concern.

The Health Minister announced these steps to ensure patient safety and make the health system more trustworthy.

Additionally, the state is looking at changing some rules for small hospitals to make it easier for them to operate.
