The inquiry into Mayo Hospital in Lahore has uncovered a shortage of sanitary supplies worth over Rs. 5.6 million. The hospital had placed a purchase order for Rs. 9.4 million worth of sanitary items. Upon the supplier's claim of full delivery on May 6, 2026, the hospital's storekeeper signed the delivery documents, and the stock was entered into the hospital's software system.
However, a physical inspection on May 16 found that approximately 65% of the supplies were missing, with a value of Rs. 3,802,876. This resulted in a shortage of Rs. 5,604,070. The investigation raised suspicions of a connection between the supplier and the storekeeper, leading to losses estimated at millions of rupees for the hospital.
It was later revealed that only 50% of the ordered supplies were actually delivered. The storekeeper admitted to signing the delivery documents prematurely, which is against hospital rules. As a result, the inquiry committee has recommended formal proceedings under the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline and Accountability (PEEDA) Act.
