More youth turning up with breathlessness, says Minister
The Union Government has assured Tamil Nadu of adequate supply of Remdesivir and COVID-19 vaccines, Health Minister C. Vijayabaskar said on Sunday. “I had a discussion with Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, who assured me of sufficient supply of Remdesivir and vaccines. He said he would instruct the Drug Controller-General of India to provide the stock sought by Tamil Nadu at the earliest. We are working on a war footing to ensure the uninterrupted availability of vaccines, antiviral drugs and oxygen at all government hospitals in the State,” Dr. Vijayabaskar told The Hindu. Expressing concern over him not being invited to the recent video conference of State Health Ministers chaired by Mr. Vardhan, he wondered how he and two others (Health Ministers of Kerala and West Bengal) would know of the action plan against the second wave of COVID-19 if they were not kept in the loop.More Related News
