We Have Won! No one can use ‘ORS’ on their label unless it’s a WHO-recommended formula.
This is the story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a braveheart 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.
This victory is not just hers, but belongs to everyone who stood with her — doctors, advocates, parents, and citizens demanding truth in labeling.
Scroll down to see how her 8-year battle changed the game for public health and children across India.

(१) बार में दारू गटकते हुए वीडियो होने के बाद भी पुलिस व मेडिकल जाँच में युवक के खून में अलकोहल नहीं मिला 😯?
(२) रईसज़ादे को ज़मानत सादर भेंट करने के लिए रविवार के दिन माननीय कोर्ट भी खुल गया 😯?
(३) दो होनहार युवाओं को अपने रईस बिल्डर बाप की करोड़ों की गाड़ी से दो सौ की स्पीड से कुचलकर मार देने पर माननीय न्यायाधीश जी ने इस रईसज़ादे को यह भीषण सजा सुना दी है-
“रईस बाप का यह बिगड़ैल अपराधी बेटा दो निरपराध युवाओं की हत्या की सजा को रुप में तीन सौ शब्दों का निबंध लिखे ।”
हे ईश्वर 😲 । यह बेचारा मासूम बच्चा, पेटभर दारू गटक कर, दो सौ की बेलगाम स्पीड पर चार करोड़ की गाड़ी व्यस्त सड़क पर दौड़ाकर, दो नौजवानों की हत्या करने के बाद इस भयानक सजा को कैसे भुगतेगा ? ज़रा दया नहीं आई 😲?
“यस्यास्ति वित्तं सः नरः कुलीनः,
सः पण्डितः सः श्रुतवान् गुणज्ञः।
स एव वक्ता सः च दर्शनीयः,
सर्वे गुणाः काञ्चनमाश्रयन्ति।।”
Taxpayers’ money is being totally wasted in all possible ways. People from all sections of society come with hope and are treated in the most harsh manner while they wait in queue which is never ending. (4/4)

about my health.
Furthermore, the follow-up process was inadequate. I had difficulty reaching the office for additional questions and concerns, and there were delays in receiving important tests.
The management at @RMLDelhi is also severely pathetic. (3/4)
contributed to a sense of frustration and anxiety.
Additionally, there were instances when she did not thoroughly explain my diagnosis or treatment options. I left some appointments with more questions than answers, which hindered my ability to make informed decisions (2/4)
