BANJUL (Gambia), July 22 ― A government taskforce in The Gambia announced yesterday that four cough syrups imported from India were responsible for the deaths of at least 70.
Indian authorities will ensure cough syrups are tested and approved by government-authorised laboratories before they are exported, Reuters reported Tuesday. This comes after some Indian drug companies were linked to the deaths of dozens of children in Gambia and Uzbekistan.
