    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Mr Sajnia, who works as a taxi driver in The Gambia, says three-year-old Lamin was set to start attending nursery school in a few weeks when he got a fever.

    He was among around 70 children - younger than five - who died in The Gambia of acute kidney injuries between July and October last year after consuming one of four cough syrups made by an Indian company called Maiden Pharmaceuticals.

    Both Maiden Pharmaceuticals and the Indian government have denied this - India said in December that the syrups complied with quality standards when tested domestically.

    But allegations that its drugs have caused tragedies like the one in The Gambia - and in other countries such as Uzbekistan and the US - have raised questions about manufacturing practices and quality standards.

    A recent Gambian government report on the tragedy has recommended the establishment of a quality control laboratory and two drug regulators have been dismissed.

    “Those who committed the crime, including the health minister, should face the full force of the law,” says Ebrima EF Saidy, spokesperson for a group representing the parents of the victims.


    The original article contains 996 words, the summary contains 186 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    The government has enabled these corrupt shits for too long because they get kickbacks.

    This is one place where China is right, they need to be tried and hopefully executed. Set an example.
