Objective: Medication reconciliation is a formal procedure that includes compiling the most correct and comprehensive list of a patient’s current medications and comparing it to those listed in the patient’s medical record. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of Medication Reconciliation programme in our hospital. A retrospective observational study was carried out over a period of 6 months (Jan-2021 to Jun-2021) in department of surgery of SSB Heart and Multispecialty Hospital. A total of 1700 patients were eligible among which 64.17% cases were found to be compliant and remaining 35.82% were non-compliant, which may be due to incomplete information from the patients and frequent change in staff. A continued education of the staff and proper communication with the patient is strongly recommended.
