New Delhi, June 3: In a move aimed at protecting patient interests and upholding ethical practices, medical representatives have been banned from entering and meeting doctors in central government hospitals.
The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has reiterated its directive to all central government-run hospitals, strictly prohibiting the presence of medical representatives on hospital premises.
“This is about the earlier instructions regarding not permitting entry of medical representatives in hospital premises. In this regard, it is once again instructed that medical representatives should not be permitted on the hospital premises. The head of the institutions shall give necessary strict directions in the matter to all officials,” reads the DGHS order issued on May 28.
