Columbia: falsified medicine may have caused the death of 16 new-borns -

Présentation et Définitions Clés

An enquiry was launched eight months ago to establish if a falsified medication for premature lung development in infants caused the deaths of 16 new-borns at Valedupar hospital. The medicine was prescribed as Survanta, a well-known product, but showed obvious signs of falsification such as spelling mistakes and blurred barcodes, etc. The enquiry will determine if the babies died because of the product or due to ill health.
