GMCH PPE kit scam: Statements of 20 doc recorded

AMRITSAR: The district administration started probe into the alleged scam of purchase of 2,000 personal protection equipment (PPE) kits at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Amritsar by recording statements of 20 doctors on Tuesday, after the centre government asked the state to ensure time-bound investigation into the matter. In April, doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff at the hospital had refused to use around 2,000 PPE kits alleging that they were substandard and did not include N-95 masks.
