Indian Pharma Can’t Catch a Break

The Signal Daily

18-12-2023 • 7 mins

After made-in-India cough syrups were implicated in the deaths of at least 141 children in Cameroon, Gambia, and Uzbekistan, and made-in-India eye-drops were recalled in the US and Sri Lanka due to contamination, a recent Bloomberg Businessweek investigation has now linked a made-in-India anticancer drug to the deaths of at least four children in Colombia.

Also, in today’s episode, expectant mothers in India are turning to a cluster of apps to help them continue the tradition of educating children while they are still in the womb. In other words, it's the making of Abhimanyu in digital India.

The Signal Daily is produced in association with IVM.
The episode was researched and written by Dhruv Sharma and Anup Semwal
