Make this your must read for the day. We need to celebrate doctors like her.
This is the story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a paediatrician from Hyderabad, who fought for 8 years against sugar-rich drinks falsely marketed as ORS.
Her persistence led to FSSAI’s landmark order, protecting children and patients from misleading claims.
“These drinks had 10x the sugar WHO recommends, worsening diarrhoea and complications in millions of kids,” she explains.
Her 8-year battle changed the game for public health and children across India.
What is sad is that it took 8 years for the government and regulator to understand that these so-called ORS drinks were harmful to children. We need to have quicker public health reforms.
After 10 years of ruling the country, the man has to resort to shaming someone else's food preferences like a WhatsApp Uncle? This is the mark of a responsible leader who happens to be a prime minister 🤦
When Rihanna tweeted in support of Farmers, several ex Cricketers replied to her tweet and asked her to stay out of India's internal affairs.
Today, those same Ex Cricketers are tweeting on France but not a single word of our own Manipur.
Shameless , Spineless!
