When a harried Naresh Indulkar, a resident of Mumbai’s Thane, went searching for three vials of Remdesivir for a relative in critical condition in hospital, it took nearly six hours to find a pharmacy with stock. “Rs 22,000 a vial,” whispered the man behind the counter, though the marked retail price was only Rs 1,800. Distraught, Indulkar returned to his apartment. A glimmer of hope appeared in the form of a reply from his neighbour to an appeal he had posted on his residential society’s WhatsApp group. On calling him, the neighbour came up two floors and offered Indulkar three spare vials of Remdesivir he had. “He had bought eight vials at a premium to treat his father,” recalls Indulkar. “Five sufficed, and as thanksgiving, he offered me the rest at the marked price, unmindful of his financial loss.”
