We are also roping in the Indian Medical Association officials to enforce the policy against antibiotics in the civic hospitals," he said. Pardeshi added that antibiotics will be completed stopped over all the counters of PMC hospitals. "We will also make patients aware of the use of antibiotics."
Pardeshi is also in touch with the National Institute of Virology and Serum Institute to tap the possibility of developing a vaccine to fight against the superbug. "We should be ready to face any kind of eventuality. Hopefully my experience of containing Swine flu in the city will help me in this situation too," he said.
