The Nagpur collector on Tuesday informed the Bombay High Court that a centralised portal for Remdesivir, a key medicine in the treatment of COVID-19, will be set up and given wide publicity.
A division bench of Justices Z A Haq and A B Borkar was hearing a public interest litigation taken up suo motu (on its own) last year on the issue of availability of medicines and Remdivisir injections in Nagpur amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advocate SP Bhandarkar, appointed by the court for assistance, had, on Monday, said there was a shortage of Remdesivir injections as some people were getting it under fake patient names and then selling it in the black market.
