KMC directs hospitals to run in-house pharmacies within 15 days

KATHMANDU, June 5: The Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has directed all hospitals within its jurisdiction to establish and operate their own pharmacies within 15 days.

In a notice issued on Wednesday, the metropolis made it mandatory for hospitals to comply with this directive, addressing concerns over the current practice where third-party entities manage hospital pharmacies. This has been linked to substandard service quality and higher medicine prices.

KMC has also referred to the Supreme Court’s order requiring hospitals to run their own pharmacies.
