Two SACMOs under scrutiny for drug rule breach in Phulpur

Md. Mijanur Rahman Akanda, Phulpur: Two Sub-Assistant Community Medical Officers (SACMOs) at Phulpur Upazila Health Complex in Mymensingh have been served show-cause notices for allegedly prescribing medicines without Drug Administration (DA) and manufacturing registration numbers, in violation of government regulations.

According to hospital sources, the two SACMOs, identified as Mofizur Rahman and Sabbir Hossain, prescribed such medicines on official government prescription pads while attending patients in the outpatient department, despite existing restrictions on the practice.

The notices, signed by Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Rahat Chowdhury on June 9, stated that the actions amounted to defiance of directives issued by higher authorities and were contrary to government service rules, making them punishable offenses.

The accused officials have been instructed to submit written explanations within two days.

Sources further revealed that two Medical Officers of the same health complex have also been asked to explain their involvement in similar allegations.

The latest action comes amid growing concerns over alleged irregularities, medical negligence, and the unchecked activities of SACMOs at the health complex. Following a series of reports published in different media outlets highlighting these issues, the authorities have formed a three-member investigation committee to examine the allegations.

Officials said appropriate measures would be taken based on the findings of the inquiry and the responses submitted by the accused personnel.
