JAMMU/SRINAGAR, Apr 28: With COVID-19 cases rising sharply in the Union Territory, the Government Medical College (GMC) Jammu and all leading Government hospitals in the Valley are facing acute shortage of Remdesivir, an emerging drug that is being used in treating the patients affected by the virus.
During last five days, the J&K Medical Supplies Corporation Limited (JKMSCL) failed to meet the demand of the GMC Jammu and supplied 317 Remdesivir injections less than the requirement, thus, badly affecting treatment of the COVID positive patients.
