WHO last week issued Medical Product Alert on four India-Made cough syrups after the products were identified 'contaminated' in Gambia.
Gambian health officials and Red Cross workers are reportedly going door to door to locate the India-made Cough Syrups.

Having QR code on APIs will help in distinguishing between genuine and counterfeit drugs much easier, as well as ensuring fair pricing.
Substandard or falsified medicines promote antimicrobial resistance in people, who can pass on the mutant infection while travelling abroad.
Substandard drugs work less effectively, causing disease to run a longer course, and can even require a new prescription during treatment. Substandard drugs also contribute to antibacterial resistance, a threat that has doubled in the last five years in India.
