SRINAGAR, Oct 7: Violating the rules and regulations, a number of Medical Representatives (MRs) are day in and day out seen visiting the GMC, Baramulla during unscheduled hours.
Ideally, the MRs of various pharmaceutical companies are supposed to meet the doctors on duty only after 2 pm, however, in open violation of the norms, they are seen roaming around, trying to meet the doctors as soon as the OPDs start functioning in the morning.
“Their presence not only disturbs the entire functioning but at the same affects the patient care; the authorities need to take note of it,” said one of the attendants of the patient at the hospital.
The official of the hospital, when the matter was brought to their notice, said that they have already issued necessary orders to ensure that the MRs visit the hospital and meet the doctors only after 2 pm.
“Some of them were caught and we have told them that they are not allowed before 2 p.m. We have already issued orders. Before 2 p.m., there remains the rush of people and once that decreases, post noon, they can visit after that; I will direct the security people as well to take the necessary action,” Dr. Javaid Ahmad, MS GMC, Baramulla said.
