The Government has requested antiviral drug against COVID-19 from the company Gilead – Amiran Gamkrelidze

19-03-2020 14:29

Georgia is negotiating with US biopharmaceutical company Gilead to receive Remdesivir – a medicine that has been used since 2015 against Ebola, which has also been used by Chinese doctors against COVID-19. Such a statement made today Amiran Gamkrelidze.

According to him, Remdesivir, which was created by Gilead, has been very actively used against COVID-19 in China, together with other anti-virus medicines, as well as anti-HIV drugs.

“The Georgian government has requested Gilead provide the medicine and I believe that the request will be granted and we will have the medicine in reserve stock”, - said the Head of the Georgian National Disease Control Centre.

It should be mentioned that Gilead has been providing Georgia with anti-Hepatitis C medicines since 2015.
