In a shocking incident in Gujarat, five pregnant women reportedly lost their memory after receiving injections from a blacklisted pharmaceutical company. The case of gross negligence occurred at Sanjay Gandhi Medical College in Rewa. According to reports, the women were administered a medicine that had already been banned and blacklisted. Following the injection, all five women began exhibiting symptoms of memory loss. An initial investigation suggests the injection was mistakenly issued by the hospital’s storekeeper.

What Happened At Sanjay Gandhi Medical College
At Sanjay Gandhi Medical College in Rewa, five pregnant women were administered an anesthesia injection manufactured by Gujarat-based Radiant Parenterals Limited. The company had already been blacklisted in December due to poor quality standards of its injections.
Banned Injection Issued By Storekeeper
