Sukhmeet BhasinTribune News ServiceBathinda, November 19The Health Department has reinstated the suspended licences of 18 private drug de-addiction centres in the state, including the drug de-addiction center at Max Hospital. The Health Department said after suspending the licences of these private de-addiction centres, they were not able to admit or treat any patient. Moreover, as government drug de-addiction centres see a huge rush of patients, they are unable to admit these patients, so the Health Department has reinstated their licences with term and conditions. The licences of 18 drug de-addiction centres were suspended after the samples of medicines given to patients failed. Most drug de-addiction centres had replied that they purchased medicines from private companies and if they are substandard, the company will be held responsible..
