49 infants die in drug tests in India

[gpit]

DELHI, India, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Officials say the deaths of 49 infants involved in drug tests at a hospital in India have sparked concern about medical ethical standards.

The Times of London said the deaths occurred over more than two years at All India Institute of Medical Services in Delhi. More than 4,000 infants have been used in 42 clinical trials since 2006, the newspaper said.

Critics said impoverished parents don't understand the dangers of allowing their children, who are often very ill before they enter the clinical trials, to participate in the drug tests. "If you are rich in this country you go to a private doctor. You certainly don't put your child up to be experimented on," Rahul Verma of the Uday Foundation for Congenital Defects and Rare Blood Groups said.

The Indian government's Planning Commission said India has a serious shortage of researchers and staff qualified to serve on ethics committees and data safety management boards.

The state of healthcare is the most pathatic in nuclear India and nuclear Pakistan.

Its such a pitty that all of us , the moroons from from both sides jump with joy for nuclear/weapon purchase but we just shrug our shoulders over such healthcare issues.

We are so much shamless that we even dont have debate such issues openly just trying to hide our guilt.

On indian side it depends who is dying?
Infect, india is in the process of changing it's out look and getting rid of poor and low cast is part of the plan.
Few bomb blasts and industrial accidents, ethnic cleansing all are steps in cleaning india from low cast.

Most of these drug testing programmes are sub contracted from Western firms. I say the govts of india and pakistan should take up this matter with western officials, to stop this disgraceful behaviour.

Europe has strict regulations about treating and handling monkeys for clinical experiments, so much so that it costs thousands of euros to take care of monkeys in small labs. Have they found cheaper test animals in poor countries? Are our childrens lives worth less than monkeys?

It's an absolute disgrace, and if the govts dont do anything, private citizens should bring civil cases in swiss, us, and other western courts. This must stop.

All our Indian friend flintock is interested in, is being condescending about somebody's grammatical mistakes. How many English speakers can write Urdu and Hindi on internet forums? Even a post strewn with mistakes must be appreciated from someone not writing in their mother tongue.
