Indonesia bans syrup medicines as children die_我的网站

A |     (ECNS) -- Extreme weather contributed to a month-on-month decline in online registrations of second-hand home sales in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, in July, according to the local real estate agents association.    Central urban districts recorded moderate growth, while transactions generally declined in outlying areas.    The city registered 8,658 second-hand home transactions in July, covering a total floor area of 858,500 square meters. The number of transactions fell 0.94% month on month and 7.1% year on year, while the total area declined 3.42% and 7.23%, respectively.        Small and medium-sized homes accounted for a larger share of total transactions than in the previous month.    The share of homes measuring less than 60 square meters rose by 0.62 percentage points, while that of homes between 60 and 90 square meters increased by 0.29 percentage points.    Several of the city’s 10 most active property submarkets recorded month-on-month growth.    Transactions in the Fangcun Avenue area surged 47.93%, while the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City area posted an increase of 31.88%.    The association said that much of the housing demand accumulated in the first half of the year had already been released, while a wait-and-see mood was likely to prevail in Guangzhou’s second-hand housing market in August.    (By Helen Mo, intern Liu Shuangjing)                    。

B |     Jakarta, Oct 20 (UNI) The deaths of nearly 100 children in Indonesia has prompted the country to suspend sales of all syrup and liquid medication.
It comes just weeks after a cough syrup in The Gambia was linked to the deaths of nearly 70 children, reports BBC.
Indonesia said some syrup medicine was found to contain ingredients linked to acute kidney injuries (AKI), which have killed 99 young children this year.
It was not clear if the medicine were imported or locally produced.
On Thursday, Indonesian health officials said they had reported around 200 cases of AKI in children, most of who were aged under five, the BBC reported.
Earlier this month, the The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a global alert over four cough syrups that were linked to the deaths of almost 70 children in The Gambia.
The WHO found the syrups used there -- made by an Indian pharmaceutical company -- contained "unacceptable amounts" of diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol. The syrups have been "potentially linked with acute kidney injuries", said the organisation.
Indonesia's Health Minister on Thursday said the same chemical compounds were also found in some medicines used locally.
"Some syrups that were used by AKI child patients under five were proven to contain ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol that were not supposed to be there, or of very little amount," said Budi Gunadi Sadikin. He did not disclose how many cases involved the toxic medicines.
Indonesian authorities said the cough syrups used in The Gambia were not sold locally.
Indonesian authorities have so far not disclosed the brands or types of syrup medicines linked to sick children - instead just temporarily banning the sale and prescription of all syrup and liquid medicines.
