Nagpur's two major government hospitals, Government Medical College and Hospital and Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, are facing questions over medicine quality. Paracetamol and a blood pressure drug supplied to them failed quality standards in laboratory tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA's testing showed the drugs did not meet prescribed quality parameters. The hospitals have not yet issued a statement on the findings. An investigation into the procurement and supply chain is expected.
