Sole-sourcing of drugs from New GPC worrying

Members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament are concerned at the Health Ministry’s continued sourcing of drugs from the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation Limited (NGPC) without competitive bidding, despite repeatedly promising to discontinue this practice.

Public Accounts Committee Chairman PNCR-1G MP Volda Lawrence told Stabroek News recently that the single-sourcing from the NGPC is a classic example as to why the Public Procurement Commission needs to be established.
