Neighbouring states unable to supply oxygen to Maha, says Rajesh Tope

Maharashtra has approached neighbouring states for medical oxygen supply amid the COVID-19 surge, but they have expressed their inability due to its high demand there, Health Minister Rajesh Tope said on Wednesday. Talking to reporters here, Tope said Maharashtra will have to reduce the wastage of medical oxygen as it is in high demand now. Medical-grade oxygen is used for the treatment of critical COVID-19 patients and in other cases of respiratory diseases. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said there is a shortage of medical oxygen and the Centre should help supply it for coronavirus patients in the state by using Air Force planes.

Maharashtra to set up control rooms for smooth supply of Remdesivir

The Maharashtra government has decided to set up district-level control rooms to ensure smooth supply of Remdesivir injections and prevent hoarding and black-marketing of the drug, officials said on Sunday. Remdesivir is considered a key medicine in the fight against COVID-19, especially in adult patients with severe complications. The state is facing multiple issues pertaining to the drug, like demand-supply gap, its hoarding and black-marketing by stockists and pharmacy shops, unaffordable prices and irrational prescription by some doctors. Maharashtra s health services commissioner Ramaswami N, in a letter dated April 9, has written to all district collectors in the state to set up control rooms to streamline the supply of the key anti-viral drug.
