Colombo, May 23 (Daily Mirror) - A thirty-one-year-old male, admitted to National Hospital in Colombo for treatment of burn injuries following an accident, died shortly after receiving an antibiotic injection, sources said.

According to the sources, the patient was reportedly administered Cefuroxime upon arrival at Ward No. 17, leading to his sudden demise.

In response to this incident, authorities have temporarily withheld the batch VLL040 of Cefuroxime Injection 750mg Vial (SR: 00101406), manufactured by Opsonin Pharma Limited, Bangladesh, pending further investigations.

However, the hospital and health authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the cause of this severe adverse drug reaction (ADR).

When all the medications are left for Keheliya we get nothing when sick. Keheliya is having a good time in the Boarding and we pay for that too.

Who is the hangman this time? Thursday, 23 May 2024 04:50 PM

NMRA will come to the scene, only after somebody dies, it seems. May be there are some more drugs to be tested on patients, to call NMRA. Keheliya is still in remand custody and trying come out on bail. Who will be arrested for this scandal?

They have injected "Keheliya" a poisonous drug purchased on "commiss".

Pay a little more or negotiate properly to get pharmaceuticals from manufacturers with strict standards of quality control. This is happening too often because of too many corrupt hands involved in the purchase process for these lucrative deals.

Investigating this is a job for the CID and not for corrupt doctors.

I have lived in Bangladesh for 8 years but never heard of Opsonin Pharma. There are very good International Pharma's there but why are going to these unknown ones?? Your guess is good as mine.

Why not use these Antibiotic Injections for former Health Minister and Officials of the Health Ministry who are not feeling well?
