Cough syrup: Fury in The Gambia a year after deaths- BBC Africa

[@yaggalimba7994]

Its over a year and the Gambia government is still mute about it like nothing happens.

[@mediadictator9763]

No one has been arrested or charged on the issue of this murderous syrup.

[@favz000]

This is so sad 💔 God bless The Gambia still ❤️

[@twinklearora3110]

This is terrible. I can't comprehend what pain of loss and feeling of helplessness this families may be going through. Gambian government should take strict actions against this company and ban all of their medicines. They should only allow import of top reliable indian pharmaceutical companies and not any random ones

[@MJRashiid]

The only justice to be served here is life sentences or death penalty for the perpetrators because no amount of money can take away the pain of loosing a child whom u forced him to take the syrup only to kill him/her. The pain is immeasurable, this will forever live with them.

i cant bare this as a young mom of a 6month old, i hardly give my son syrups and if he is recommeded cough syrub i buy from the hospital itself im so pained seeing the deaths so sorry to the families trust me its a pain like no other

[@dbsirius]

This video needs to go viral. We need to get more attention on this.

[@ClarkKent-ic3pb]

Do we??

[@raheemjalloh1441]

The victims should sue the company that manufactures the drugs and the Gambia Government for neglegence!

[@ClarkKent-ic3pb]

Lawsuits don't work over there.😭

[@sheastech]

The African continent needs and FDA for the entire continent...not just individual countries. When the institutions of the continent unify under one flag, many things will change.

[@KiranKumarBokkesam]

For that they need to have a proper struggle and unification like that in India during colonisation

[@ClarkKent-ic3pb]

Cute they need to be more like America 🇺🇲

[@KiranKumarBokkesam]

@@ClarkKent-ic3pb not like America. Like the Nordics.

The pharmaceutical company involved would pay through their nose if this happened in the Western world! Unfortunately, anything goes in Africa with zero accountability or regulation! Sad!

[@KiranKumarBokkesam]

That's because of the strong resolve of the westerners. Everyone should have that

[@adstix]

@@KiranKumarBokkesam my thinking is that some of the regulatory institutions in Africa are weak and perhaps also compromised!

[@KiranKumarBokkesam]

@@adstix of course

[@ClarkKent-ic3pb]

Because America is weak against lawsuits.😭

[@jaytee8925]

Is this company being made accountable? Will they be shut down as this is something not forgivable by any medical standards.

[@RobloxRainbowThemePark]

I am sorry for your lost of love ones.

Can I suugest to the people of Gambia or the Gambian Goverment. Please file a petition to the honorable Supreme Court of India. You can do it online as well.

[@aieshasylla8186]

Thank you for covering the story. The Gambian government’s attitude towards the death of these children is simply disgusting. This is what we get for voting for an incompetent and totally clueless Adama Barrow.

[@gladwelltailor]

Greed 😭😭😭🛐🛐🙏🏾

[@E_Harekrishna]

Only 19k views, what the fuc , no one is aware of health?

[@mariemedaily]

lets stop with Indian medicines

[@unknown-mx9it]

😂😂😂😂😂India is the pharmacy of the world. They export medicines to western countries and Asian countries. Never ever heard something like that but it is happening in africa because of cheap quality control. It's government's job to do quality inspections.

[@oneel3859]

Caste system should have told them they would do this

[@unknown-mx9it]

😂😂😂😂😂wtf

[@ousmansanneh128]

Indian companies need quality and stopped manipulation.... be content with the money you have all is because of wanting more money
