The above schedule shows the details of a payment voucher used to dispose expired drugs. Even though the management claimed that the disposing of certain drugs needs expertise, audit sees it as a negligence on the side of the management to allow the drugs to expire in the first place. Funds were spent to purchase the drugs and they were not used, eventually expired, only for the management to spend such amount of money for disposal of expired drugs. This amounts to unnecessary wastage and/or multiple loss to the hospital accessioned by management lack of due diligence. Also it is the opinion of audit that contracting a third party to carry out the disposal of expired drugs poses a great danger to the citizenry as they can be repackaged and find their ways into the markets.
The management therefore, should forthwith, seek for approval of the board to use such drug(s) for free medical outreach in rural areas, before they expire, to save the resources used for the disposal and as well the lives of people.
The management (CMD & HOD, Accounts) who approved and authorizes the payment respectively, should refund the sum of N100,000 allegedly used for disposing of drugs in the hospital and evidence of such refund forwarded to the Auditor-General for verification.
