India investigating deaths in Gambia linked to India-made cough syrup: Sources

冈比亚儿童死亡，印度调查印度出口的止咳糖浆

MUMBAI: India is investigating the deaths of dozens of children in The Gambia that the World Health Organization (WHO) said may be linked to a cough syrup made in the south Asian nation, two people from the Union health ministry told Reuters on Thursday.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Wednesday told reporters the UN agency was investigating the deaths from acute kidney injuries with India's drug regulator and New Delhi-based cough syrup manufacturer Maiden Pharmaceuticals.

The agency informed the Drugs Controller General of India of the deaths late last month after which the regulator launched an investigation with state authorities, in tandem with the WHO probe, the people said

印度正在调查冈比亚数十名儿童的死亡，世界卫生组织表示，这可能与该南亚国家生产的咳嗽糖浆有关，两名来自联盟卫生部的人士告诉路透社。

世界卫生组织总干事Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus告诉记者，联合国机构正在与印度药物监管机构和新德里咳嗽糖浆制造商Maiden Pharmaceuticals一起调查急性肾损伤死亡病例。

知情人士说，该机构上月末将死亡情况通知了印度药品监督管理局局长，随后监管机构与国家当局展开了调查，与世界卫生组织的调查同时进行

以下是印度时报读者的评论

Must be properly investigated...I am sure the same medicine is consumed by Indian market also.

India should make an independent investigation as WHO is a puppet of China.

印度应该独立调查，毕竟WHO是中国的傀儡。

WHO is pathetic and anti Indian. Didn’t even able to say a word about covid sorry . Cough syrup can not kill human., over dose may take you to longer hours of sleep. It’s better WHO shuts its mouth and di the works to investigate wuhan virus

世界卫生组织是悲哀的，是反印的。对于新冠肺炎，我们连一句话都说不上。

止咳糖浆是喝不死人的。过量服用可能会延长你的睡眠时间。

世界卫生组织最好闭上嘴巴，着手调查新冠病毒吧

Before even completing the whole investigation they have already linked it to the India based manufacturer. WHO has just become a lackey of China and instead of doing their job of doing scientific based result they have gone in fortune telling business. WHO should have completed the whole investigation than revealed the perpetrators now this will just tarnish the country name

在完成调查之前，他们已经认定是印度制造商干的。世界卫生组织（WHO）刚刚沦为中国的傀儡，他们调查没有科学性，更像是在算命。世界卫生组织本应完成整个调查，而不是揭露肇事者。现在这只会玷污我们印度的国家名声

We are proud of being the pharmacy of the world. Such incidents will shred our reputation to bits. The government should be extremely honest and ruthless in getting to the bottom of this matter. If we are at fault, it should ensure that the guilty are handed out exemplary punishments and the victims adequately compensated.

我们为自己成为世界药房而自豪。这样的事件会破坏我们的声誉的。印度政府应该诚实查明这件事的真相。

Even before the investigation.. WHO is in extreme hurry to declare the result. They want to prevent India from becoming Global Pharma Hub at any cost.

还没调查，世界卫生组织就急于宣布结果。他们想不惜代价阻止印度成为全球制药中心。
