Background: Public image of a Health Center improves when essential items are made available. Inventory control is the part of material management, which is a modern technical tool to minimize and economize expenditure on material.
Objectives: 1. To study existing drug inventory pattern of RHTC, Tasgaon., 2. To develop a system for effective inventory control and cost containment.
Method: A cross-sectional survey was carried out in central drug store, RHTC, Tasgaon. Drug inventory data was collected by a trained investigator for the financial year 2003-2004 through a pretested schedule.
Results: The annual drug expenditure was found to be 5.13 % of the total budget. The economic picture of each drug should be calculated by cyclic&2-bin system to decide Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and time of order placement. The combination of ABC-VED gives a concise view on cost and necessity of drugs. It was observed that 25% cost could be saved by effective drug inventory. Conclusion: Record register needs updating. There exists a wide scope to save expenditure on drugs by Inventory Control Methods.
