A committee at JJ Hospital in Mumbai has recommended that all medical investigations should be conducted in the hospital’s central laboratory to prevent doctors from prescribing tests and medicines from private labs and pharmacies. The committee acknowledges that the hospital must ensure all tests are available at all times. Some doctors argue that advanced tests may need to be outsourced and suggest developing a mechanism to use the state government’s health insurance scheme for private prescriptions. However, concerns remain about the availability of supplies and the need for regular testing for critical patients. The committee is also considering implementing measures to hold doctors accountable for sending samples out for testing.
