Its the same in India too.
Instead of counterfiet drugs ,India leads in misbranded and spurios drugs.
Indian drug authorities are always been bribed and nothing can happen even when there are some adverse reactions from a vaccine in Gujarath and a Large volume parenteral caused some deaths in Rajasthan.
We do not always want to share such news here as it hurts some who belongs to their nation.
The fact reamins that Indian FDA is not at all up to the global standards.
These statements will hurt. But you cannot deny the truth.
