Bengaluru:Over 4 deaths of pregnant women in Ballari District Hospital since November 11, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday directed officials concerned to blacklist the West Bengal based Pharma company for supply of alleged ‘substandard’ Ringer lactate solution supplied to treat dehydration and restore fluid balance in the body. As per the expert committee report, Rao said the expert committee stated no fault of doctors and it has led to suspicion of Ringer lactate solution which might have led to the deaths of pregnant women. The Minister said the Pharma company of West Bengal was blacklisted but the company got certificate from the High Court to supply Ringer lactate solution. Based on tests by officials concerned with the Drugs Control Department report, Rao said during the tests it was found that 22 batches of Ringer lactate solution was of substandard quality and on the report a criminal case will be filed against the Pharma company.
