A presidential task force has recommended the Gambia government to explore legal action against the Indian government, Maiden Pharmaceuticals and a local drug importer for the deaths of 70 children last year due to kidney injury allegedly caused by India-made cough syrup.
"It is safe to conclude, without any qualms, that the deaths of the 70 children below the age of five between July and October 2022 related to acute kidney injury (AKI) are a direct result of contaminated medicines found in four cough and cold syrups imported by Atlantic Pharmacy from Maiden Pharmaceuticals in India," the task force said in its report.
