A tradition of late or delayed supplies has for a number of years plagued the health sector.This has manifested itself by a situation of late or delayed delivery of goods to the Ministry of Health.  In fact there are reports that suggest that some suppliers are yet to fulfill the delivery mandate.This state of affairs has been amplified in the Auditor General Report of the fiscal year ended 2015.Among the suppliers that have been holding out on the Ministry, in terms of supply, has been the New Guyana Pharmaceutical Company Inc. (New GPC).  Based on the details of the Report, in 2013 the New GPC was awarded 10 contracts valued at $2.374 billion of which freight charges totalled $180.496M.  It was revealed that as at September 2015, goods valued at $136.637M were still outstanding in relation to two of the 10 contracts.But while goods valued at $91.640M were received since then,[url=http://www.salecheapjerseys.us@#$%&/]NFL Cheap Jerseys[/url], the Report has outlined that there were outstanding deliveries of $44.997M at the time of reporting.It was expected that the outstanding supplies would have been forthcoming by last month.This publication was unable to ascertain whether this commitment has been met.  The Ministry has,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysnear.us@#$%&/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url], however, assured that reconciliations are being done.According to the Audit Office, it is recommended that the Ministry takes immediate action to have contractors fulfill their contractual obligations under the contracts awarded to them.But the New GPC has not been the only defaulting supplier.While the Report highlighted that the New GPC was still to deliver drugs and medical supplies valued at $11.863 million for the year 2011, it was revealed that a total of six suppliers failed to deliver drugs and medical supplies totalling $114.002 million for the year 2012.The named suppliers are Product Roche, Caribbean Medical Supplies, Trans Continental Ltd., Henry Schien Inc., Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and SHIMADZU.It was, however, noted that the named suppliers were collectively able to deliver goods amounting to $98.750 million during 2015.
