The World Health Organization (WHO) has sought clarification from India on whether the cough syrup linked to over 15 child deaths in the country has been exported to other countries, a senior official of the global health agency said on Wednesday (October 8, 2025).
The WHO is yet to issue a Global Medical Products Alert on Coldrif syrup, the cough syrup which has allegedly caused the child deaths in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The official added that the need for an alert will be investigated only after receiving a response from Indian health authorities.
