Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>A Pharmaceuticals company whose cough syrups have been linked to the deaths of children in Gambia, has denied it had tampered with test samples or bribed officials to do so.<\/b><\/p>\n

The denial from India’s maiden pharmaceuticals comes in the face of an allegation made against it in a complaint under investigation by local health officials in India<\/p>\n

Authorities in the state of Haryana’s Food and Drug Administration on Friday said they were close to finishing a probe into whether a state drug regulator was bribed to switch samples, tested by the Indian government, and that contradicted the World Health Organization (WHO)’s findings of toxic substances in the cough syrups.<\/p>\n

Maiden founder Naresh Kumar Goyal is reported to have vehemently denied the allegation. Goyal according to the Reuters news agency said a competitor was behind the complaint but did not name them.<\/p>\n

The WHO linked syrups made by Maiden to the deaths of 70 children in Gambia. The deaths in the Gambia of kidney-related problems between July and October last year after consuming the cough syrup were not the only ones.<\/p>\n

Dozens of other children died in Cameroon and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
