All the institutions in Kerala that are Recognized Medical Institutions for stocking and dispensing morphine, please note: it is time to submit the annual consumption data and the annual requirement for the next year to the State Drugs Controller.

The consumption data is to be prepared for the period from November 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014. Please arrange to have the data submitted as early as possible to avoid any delay in allotment of next year’s quota.

The required form (Annexure 3) is available at: https://palliumindia.org/cms/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ANNEXURE-III-Annual-estimate.pdf

Last year, several institutions got into trouble because of errors made in calculation. The institutions use morphine in various strengths and the consumption data have to be submitted in terms of grams. Unfortunately, those that made an error with under-calculation, got only the smaller quantity allotted in the subsequent year.

Anybody who needs help in filling up the form, please get your consumption data ready in terms of number of tablets and contact the Information Centre of Pallium India. (Telephone: +91-9746745497. E-mail: info@palliumindia.live-website.com). Our Information Officer, Mrs Sheeba Shaju, will assist you in making the right calculation.
