ERNAKULAM: Opposition leader V D Satheesan said that the CAG report on the Medical Services Corporation was shocking. He alleged that substandard medicines were distributed in many hospitals in the state and some drugs were not even tested.

"There is serious negligence in quality checking. Substandard and fake medicines are becoming easily available in the market. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Health Minister Veena George had approved the purchase," Satheesan said.

VD Satheesan also alleged that the money was embezzled by risking the lives of patients.

"Expired medicines were supplied to twenty-six hospitals. The Chief Minister should respond to the drug scam. 1,610 batches of drugs supplied to various warehouses were without a 75% shelf life. An impartial investigation must be conducted into the incident," he added.
