ReplyDeletesad its the negligence of our system....how could they sell such an untested syrup..
ReplyDeleteits against the law the government should take some serious action against such vendors supplying these types of poisonous drugs in the market and drag them behind the bars.
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be a transparent pharmacy audit system in which each and every medicine and drug should be tested and approved by specialists.
ReplyDeletethe govt has stood up and is trying hard to stop these culprits..
ReplyDeletei believe that there are more of them playing with innocent lives.. the govt should target all and not this 1 company..
I think the govt. should take a very strong action against this event to stop events like this from happening in future!
ReplyDeleteThis is not one case.. There are several cases.. People die everyday due to non authorized medicines.. Pakistan healths ministry should take strict action. This is MURDERING for the sake of profit.
ReplyDeletevery well written , also federal and provincial governments should increase the health budget.
ReplyDeleteVery good report Mr. Adnan, its sad to see products like these being sold in the market, the Govt. should take serious actions against these pharmaceuticals producing such drugs.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fake tricks played by media to promote violence in public. There are thousands of positive aspects that can be catered in our country inspite of scattering just negitive side that can be negligible in any case.
ReplyDeleteI hope we get to right path :( so sad to hear about this incident, innocent people killed by experimenting drugs before testing... Disasterous act!
Simply tragic to hear about the deaths of the innocent, no wonder where this country is going to end. anybody heard about the paracetamol incident? I heard Mr. Rehman malik has sold the formula to some company outside Pakistan for millions and now its production has been stopped. God save the rest!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely ridiculous.such pharmaceutical companies are selling death instead of health to the innocent people.The Govt should take immediate and stern action against those who are involved in this and an example should be set for the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteVery very sad news! If we cannot trust the medical system of our country then what is left?
ReplyDeleteThe other news of negligence at hospitals where new born babies got bitten by rats is an eye opener for the government to take action.
totally agree.. the rat bites were totally terrifying..
Deletegovt should take action against such manufacturers.
ReplyDeleteOur government should put such manufacturers behind bars so as to prevent such actions from happening in the future
ReplyDeleteNot good for us, why this syrup was sold? was it used for some type of drug addiction? This type of medicine should be totaly banned and government should have a proper check on the quality of these medicines.
ReplyDeleteI wish some political body had it
ReplyDeleteThankGod Cheif Minister Punjab has taken notice on it!!
ReplyDeleteIntervention of our leaders is required..strong steps must be taken against this issue.
