Gambia hires US law firm to consider action on toxic Indian cough syrup, minister says

Gambia hires US law firm to consider action on toxic Indian cough syrup, minister says At least 70 children in Gambia, most under 5 years old, died from acute kidney injury between June and October. Local doctors suspected cough syrups imported from India were the likely culprit, Reuters reported earlier this year, and tests by the World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed the presence of lethal toxins, sparking a global hunt for contaminated medicines. https://ift.tt/49WLcOb
