DHS has submitted the details of purchases made as per the needs and also to keep buffer stocks for days to come in view of the COVID-19 outbreak.
As of now, supplies have still not normalised as most items are not indigenously produced and sourced from other States.
“Until the situation normalises, to ensure the health and safety of health personnel, the Institutes will place orders to suppliers depending on availability, quality and delivery time. This Cabinet note covers procurements done until June 2, 2020,” the note states further.
