Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif has confirmed that nearly 100 people have died after using PIC medicines, a private TV channel reported.
Talking to the media, the chief minister said that samples of the medicines in question had been sent to European laboratories — in France and the UK.
The chief minister, who also has portfolio of health ministry, said that he was deeply saddened that the poor people had been given such medicines that they lost their lives. Shahbaz said the officials found involved in criminal negligence would be dealt sternly and justice would be done.
The Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) gives free medicines in its outdoor service to the needy patients, but some of these medicines proved fatal for the hapless users.
He said today he held a detailed meeting and collected statistics of the people who lost their lives due to these medicines. He said over 70 people died in hospitals while 17 people died out of hospitals, in Lahore and other areas.
A report earlier said that about twenty-five thousand patients were given these medicines.
What measures have been taken by the government to prevent such human disaster in other provinces specially Sindh?
