“We as a pharmaceutical company have come forward to serve the nation with our medicines which can treat moderate to severe cases of COVID-19. Remdesivir is used for hospitalised patients whose oxygen levels are low. Apart from COVID-19, we are also present in the space of viral Hepatitis, MDR and XDR tuberculosis and HIV,” he added.

Talking about the role of IT in healthcare transformation, he said, “We are a research-based organization. For us, integrating IT from research to manufacturing is an important aspect. During COVID times, Mylan pharmaceuticals has created a digital supply chain and started to distribute remdesivir across India. We have anti diversion laws and also have a mandate from DCGI to collect patient consent forms for every patient and medicine should be made available in COVID-19 hospitals. We have a robust surveillance system on our distribution network. It is a huge enabler. It has many applications including knowledge dissemination.”
