It's been difficult to find an exact account of health organizations helping specifically with the cough syrup deaths.

Similar to my other global health article - this does not directly discuss the cough syrup deaths but it discusses a program that brought health information to Indian families. This connects back to the cough syrup deaths because awareness and prevention are extremely important when preventing tragedies such as these.
