The Sun Pharma, which manufactures the Remdesivir injection has been asked by the state government to speed up production, informed Assam Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
India is running short of Remdesivir injection, oxygen and vaccines to fight Covid-19.
In the last 24 hours 3,49,691 people have tested positive for the virus in India, and 2,767 people have succumbed to the infections
2,236 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in Assam in the past 24 hours. 14 more lives have succumbed to the infection. With 815 people testing positive, Kamrup (Metro) has the highest positive cases.
In what shall give comfort to all, pleased to share that I visited @SunPharma_Live plant Palasbari, which has a capacity of 80K #Remdesivir vials production per week. Requested them to speed up production & rollout.
They would support Assam as well. pic.twitter.com/yQip4zRpry
