The New Age of Pediatric Medication Awareness
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare's recent advisory against administering cough syrups to children under two is a milestone in India's changing healthcare history.
It marks a shift towards a new age of awareness, accountability, and informed choices in pediatric care, moving away from the traditional reliance on cough syrups as a quick solution for children's coughs and colds.
It is not simply a change in the rules; it is a warning note on the way the terrain of paediatric care has to change with the times.
For years, cough syrups have been a common remedy in Indian homes, but this advisory signals a need for more considered approaches to pediatric medication.
Author's summary: India's healthcare is shifting towards awareness and accountability in pediatric care.
