A major medical scam has erupted in Madhya Pradesh, with alarming reports of substandard medicines being supplied to government hospitals. The issue came to light when doctors in Indore found that medicines given to patients were ineffective. Lab tests confirmed that a significant batch of drugs, including life-saving medicines, antibiotics, and even basic supplements like calcium, vitamins, and ORS, were substandard. The Madhya Pradesh Public Health Service Corporation has halted distribution and begun recalling the faulty medicines. Meanwhile, the Congress has accused the government of corruption, and doctors are demanding a full investigation.
