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...
