India demands higher manufacturing standards from small drugmakers

India is demanding higher standards from small and medium-sized drugmakers, the health minister said on Tuesday, in a bid to improve product quality after Indian-made cough syrups were linked to deaths of children overseas. India's image as the "pharmacy of the world", offering cheaper alternatives to Western products, took a hit following the deaths of at least 89 children in Gambia and Uzbekistan last year after consuming cough syrups made in India.
