Hospital stores & procurement

The pathSkills

This is the drugs-store side of government hospitals and central medical buying (AIIMS, central hospitals, CMSS). You manage drug and consumable stores, inventory, and buying, in a permanent, pensionable post. For Store Keeper (Drugs), a Pharmacy degree is the direct and specific qualification, separate from general material-management store roles. The work is secure and administrative, but the exam and day-to-day work are rooted in hospital pharmacy.
