00:00How many companies are supplying medicines to the hospital apart from BMC?

00:05We have identified 150 suppliers who are supplying medicines.

00:10We are not counting the instrument suppliers because their numbers are yet to come.

00:15We are supplying medicines, tablets, capsules, injections, ointments, vaccines, gloves, PPE kits, etc.

00:23There are more than 150 people who are supplying to BMC on a routine basis.

00:28How many hospitals will be affected?

00:30There are 27 hospitals that will be affected because this is a big hospital where the flow of patients is very high.

00:37In addition to this, there are small outlets that they have opened all over the place.

00:42For how many days will BMC continue?

00:49Sir, I think their supplies will continue for 3 to 4 days.

00:53If we don't do it now, I think the patients will start suffering, which we don't want.

00:59But BMC has a stock of medicines for 3 to 4 days.

01:04Some medicines will be over.

01:07We don't want any patient to suffer.

01:11Because the patient is our priority.

01:13We are in the same business.

01:14We have provided them with services.

01:16We have been supplying medicines to them for years.

01:18We don't want any patient to get any medicine.

01:22We are very happy that they got the medicine.

01:25And we join hands with BMC and request them again and again.

01:28Sir, we are in this profession, in medicine supply.

01:30We have vowed that no patient should suffer because of us.

01:34It is not a matter of our happiness that I am taking a press conference that we are supplying medicines.

01:39We are sad that I have to take this press conference today that we are not getting money to supply and we are not able to give.

01:45If we had a little more money, we would have started supplying from tomorrow.

01:48There is no money.

01:49People are in such a situation that they are not able to pay their staff.

01:52In this situation, we have to stand and take this stand today.

01:56Sir, did you have any dialogue with BMC in the last?

01:59Yes, this is an important point.

02:01Sir, this morning we wrote a letter to the commissioner to meet him for an appointment.

02:06And we also gave a message.

02:08He replied that this matter is being handled by AMC Sharma Sir.

02:18And he also received a call from AMC Sharma Sir.

02:21And he has assured that the money will start from tomorrow to clear our outstanding.

02:25He has also taken a review.

02:27He has also taken a review from all the departments.

02:32After taking a personal review, he told me that all the money will be withdrawn within a week.

02:38And I hope that it is a good thing.

02:41And he said that he is also going to give us the letter that we are clearing in this way.

02:47So we are waiting for that letter to come so that we can convey it to our members.

02:51Sir, you said that there are 150 suppliers who have not received their money.

02:56If you are doing a press conference alone, where are the rest of the people?

02:59The reason is that many suppliers are tied to the contract with the companies.

03:04They have a non-disclosure agreement sign that they will not comment in front of the media.

03:10And this is the problem with many suppliers that they have to be in contact with the BMC officer on a daily basis.

03:16About supplies, about short supplies and all.

03:19So they don't want to come to the front because they will target them.

03:23In the past, there has been such an experience.

03:26So they said that we cannot come to the front.

03:28That's why we made an association.

03:29And there is only one phase and one thing.

03:31Because if there are 10 people, then 10 will come.

03:33And then they look for loopholes in it.

03:35So we didn't want to do those things.

03:36And this is a very sensitive issue of medicine supply.

03:39So by showing us a lot that we are coming very happily, we don't want to show that.

03:45Because this is a very sensitive issue.

03:46So let's assume that you have stopped medicine from today.

03:51Today, I would like to tell you, I would like to add to this.

03:54The data that I have today, we have stopped about 1500 invoices today.

04:00Why have we stopped?

04:02Because if that money goes, when will it come?

04:04We don't have that guarantee.

04:05Because the money that has been withdrawn is not coming.

04:07So our money should be further involved in it.

04:11And the money should come back to us.

04:12So we will think that we will not supply that medicine.

04:14If we don't get the money, then we will return the goods to the company.

04:17At least our household money will be saved.

04:19Because we don't even have that to be able to pay people's salary.

04:22We are standing on those conditions.

04:23Can you tell the names of some big hospitals?

04:25KM, Sayan, Nair, Bandra Baba, Kurla Baba, Bhagwati Hospital, if we talk about the center, then MTA Agrawal Hospital.

04:32There are many such hospitals that importantly look at the patient.

04:34They have a flow, they need medicines.

04:36OPD patient has a very big problem.

04:38OPD patient has medicines, tablets, capsules, injections.

04:40This is the line of treatment for them.

04:43And they are not able to get these things because the rate contract schedules have not been completed.

04:48The rate contract has not been completed for 3 years.

04:50So we have to tell one more thing that in the rate contract, things are very cheap.

04:55Because there are a lot of competitions.

04:57So it is cheap.

04:58So because of that, in less money...
