expenditure incurred <strong>on</strong> fuel and labour should be reimbursed by<br />
respective the Provincial Councils. MSD will take every attempt to<br />
distribute <strong>drugs</strong> by railway wherever that facility is available and the<br />
respective instituti<strong>on</strong>s should settle the bills at the receiving end. Also if<br />
the Provincial/Regi<strong>on</strong>al Directors desire to get their medical supplies by<br />
Railway they may do so, having informed the Director/MSD well in<br />
advance and settle the transport charges accordingly. If the Provincial<br />
and Regi<strong>on</strong>al Directors are able to provide their own transport they may<br />
do so, having informed the Director/MSD.<br />
Cold chain has to be maintained for all thermo labile <strong>drugs</strong> during<br />
transport. Cold storage items will not be issued to any <strong>of</strong>ficer other than<br />
the pharmacist/storekeeper <strong>of</strong> the relevant institute/RMSD. Also<br />
sufficient number <strong>of</strong> cold boxes and cooling elements should be brought.<br />
In case the head <strong>of</strong> the instituti<strong>on</strong> decides to send an <strong>of</strong>ficer other than a<br />
pharmacist/storekeeper, he may do so by taking full resp<strong>on</strong>sibility <strong>of</strong><br />
maintaining the cold chain during transport and such delegati<strong>on</strong> should be<br />
communicated to the Director/MSD in writing.<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>sible <strong>of</strong>ficer should immediately c<strong>on</strong>tact the assistant director in<br />
charge <strong>of</strong> the relevant secti<strong>on</strong> and ascertain the status. Where necessary<br />
he should in c<strong>on</strong>sultati<strong>on</strong> with RDHS and D/MSD, make alternate<br />
arrangements to collect the <strong>drugs</strong> from the MSD. For this purpose any<br />
mode <strong>of</strong> transport menti<strong>on</strong>ed in paragraph 4 above could be utilized.<br />
6. Narcotics.<br />
As regards to narcotic <strong>drugs</strong>, each instituti<strong>on</strong> should submit periodical<br />
indents through the respective RDHS to Director/MSD as and when the<br />
instituti<strong>on</strong>al stocks reach a low level (<strong>on</strong>e m<strong>on</strong>th requirement). The<br />
Director/MSD will then issue the narcotic <strong>drugs</strong> to the authorized<br />
pers<strong>on</strong> or to an identified representative <strong>of</strong> the authorized pers<strong>on</strong> as<br />
stipulated in the Pois<strong>on</strong>, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Act.<br />
7. Medical Gases.<br />
