'Medicine for women being given to cows'.

'Medicine for women being given to cows' Are medicines meant for women in labour being given to cows? That's what health minister KR Ramesh Kumar claimed at the Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences on Monday, but health department officials told TOI the minister's statement was based on a case filed by the deputy drugs controller, Belagavi in 2010. "Two months ago, a gynaecologist in Hassan said some medicines required for women in labour were not available even after indenting for them. We checked and learnt that the medicines meant for women were given to cows to yield more milk," the minister said at an immunization event in Belagavi. more
