Kolkata Municipal Corp nod must for off-site units now

KOLKATA: Taking a lesson from the fake vaccination camp fiasco, KMC on Wednesday decided to make it mandatory for organizers of off-site camps to seek prior approval from the civic health department.
Vaccinations at such camps are usually held in partnership with a private hospital that supplies and administers the doses.
Senior member in the KMC Board of Administrators (BoA) Atin Ghosh said it was unfortunate that the civic body was being kept in the dark about camps being held by clubs, social organizations or private organizations.
“It is a matter of regret that so many camps are being held across the city and we know nothing about them.
Whatever happened in Kasba is a matter of concern and we don’t know what will happen to the recipients The source of the fake vaccine is still unknown,” Ghosh said.
According to an official, the civic body recently stopped supply of vaccines to a section of social welfare organizations which were sourcing the doses from KMC and selling them at a premium to a section of private healthcare groups.
Ghosh expressed concern for Jadavpur MP Mimi Chakraborty, who is a family friend.
“The camp at Kasba has taught us a lesson.
Henceforth, we will ask all our borough health officials to keep tabs on vaccination camps conducted by private organizations,” he said.
