Representative imageHYDERABAD: A day after two infants died and 32 children hospitalized after they were wrongly given Tramadol tablet instead of a paracetamol, a medical officer, 3 auxiliary nurse midwifes (ANM) and a pharmacist have been terminated from the service with immediate effect by the health, medical, and family welfare department officials.
Over 30 children were hospitalised on Thursday after they developed health complications a day after being administered some vaccine at the urban primary health centre in Nampally on Wednesday.
