Talking about those responsible, especially the manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies involved in this issue, the parliamentary secretary informed that the 'raw material' used in the said medicine was imported from China and Dubai. He said the Punjab government had no links to the issuance of licence to the companies, as authorities in the federal government were dealing with that matter, including fixing the prices of medicine after getting 'financial incentives' which could be between one Re 1 to Rs 65 per tablet.

BBC News - Lahore grieves over heart pill deaths

He was the latest victim of the free heart drugs that have cost more than 100 - and doctors are warning the death toll could continue to rise.

The deadly drugs were distributed by the Punjab Institute for Cardiology in Lahore. This well-regarded regional centre is Pakistan's largest heart hospital, and has been a place of healing for many.

But as soon as we arrived in the grounds we were surrounded by sick patients, and bereaved relatives - people like Mukhtar Ahmad, a tall bearded man, clutching a death certificate. He told us he had been robbed of his father and great-uncle.

About 46,000 needy patients like him received the drugs in December. Within days some were bleeding profusely. Within weeks there were deaths.

Initially doctors suspected dengue fever, not faulty drugs. Patients weren't warned until 11 January.

"We shouldn't be going for the lowest price," he said, "we should be going for the safest product. The drugs were purchased at unrealistically low prices. No-one could supply quality medicine at that price."

The BBC has learned that one of the firms no longer had a licence to produce drugs. But that's no surprise, says Professor Akram, because there is nowhere to renew a licence at present.

"The regulatory mechanism for drugs was a federal one," he said. "This responsibility was supposed to shift to the provinces, but they haven't established drug regulatory authorities as yet."

Two of the pharmaceutical firms under investigation export drugs to other Asian nations, and to Africa.
