The City Health Office(CHO) in coordination with the General Services Office and City Accountant’s Office conducted a Drugs and Medicines Inventory Count last January 6-7, 2021 at the CHO Storage Area and Pharmacy, Rizal Street, Gingoog City. This validation procedure was participated by the City Internal Audit Services Department (CIASD).

CIASD, represented by Ms. Jasmin Ubalde-Kiunisala, assessed and observed the inventory procedures in place as the Count Members generated a listing of drugs and medicines on hand,  noting its expiration date. Following the actual count, CIASD noted controls that were not operating effectively, gave recommendations, and performed follow-up procedures.
