Contract doctor in Bhadradri area hospital held; CB-CID probe sought
The Government Area Hospital in Bhadrachalam, the 200-bed major public healthcare facility in Telangana’s tribal heartland, has been rocked by allegations of large-scale diversion of COVID-19 anti-viral drug Remdesivir to private hospitals in the undivided Khammam district.
The scam has come to light after two aggrieved persons approached the officials concerned seeking action against those involved in the sale of Remdesivir injections from the drug stocks allotted to the Government Area Hospital in the black market at an exorbitant price a few days ago.

Bhadrachalam town police on Monday arrested Krishna Prasad, a contract doctor working in the Government Area Hospital in Bhadrachalam, on charges of “diversion” of COVID-19 anti-viral drugs and endangering the lives of people in these times of pandemic.
The action comes in the wake of serious allegations levelled by several Adivasi organisations over the alleged scam involving diversion of COVID-19 drugs from the State-run area hospital to a private hospital, sources said.
