Rajnath Singh Handed over the first batch of 2-DG anti Covid drug to the Union Health Minister, Dr. Harshvardhan after it was released today.
This 2-DG drug developed by DRDO & DRL is a perfect example of India’s scientific prowess and a milestone in the efforts towards self-reliance.
The medicine will play a crucial role in winning the fight against COVID-19. The development and production of the drug is a shining example of public-private sector partnership to help the nation in these challenging times.
When the situation improves, I would personally like to felicitate the scientists who played a major role in the development of the drug as they deserve credit for this wonderful achievement.
The Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is continuously monitoring the situation and taking effective steps to meet the requirement of oxygen supply, medicines & ICU beds in hospitals across the country.
