Allocation of Remdesivir has to be need-based: Bombay High Court to Centre, Maharashtra government
The Hindu
“If contribution towards COVID-19 cases is 40% from Maharashtra, then it is only right to say that 40% of Remdesivir injections are allotted to this State,” a division Bench of Justices Sunil Shukre and S. M. Modak said.
The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court on Monday said the distribution of Remdesivir injections has to be on the basis of need and asked the Centre and the Maharashtra government what parameters are followed while allocating the drug to various States and districts. A division Bench of Justices Sunil Shukre and S. M. Modak said if Maharashtra was contributing to 40% of the cases in India, then the allocation of Remdesivir injections to the State should also be in the same percentage. Remdesivir is listed for use in serious patients. In view of a sudden spike in demand of the drug due to the surge in cases, the Centre last week banned its export till the situation improves.
