SAPM on health Dr Zafar Mirza says it is a "huge accomplishment" for Pakistan that it is among the three countries that will produce Remdesivir — that only drug touted as a treatment for the coronavirus.
Addressing a press conference, he said Prime Minister Imran Khan had a conference call with the US-based Gilead Sciences Inc. regarding the drug, which will be produced by six companies globally.
These companies will not only produce the drug for their own countries, but will also export it to 127 countries, Mirza added.
