In April,&#13;<br \/>\nEVA Pharma signed a contract with the Indian government to export 300,000 vials&#13;<br \/>\nof Remdesivir, an approved treatment for coronavirus, to meet the urgent needs&#13;<br \/>\nthere.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Six shipments of Remdesivir&#13;<br \/>\nwere flown to Mumbai between May and June and were subsequently dispatched to&#13;<br \/>\nhospitals across India, reaching patients everywhere from major cities to the&#13;<br \/>\nremote archipelago of Lakshadweep.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m glad to say that the six&#13;<br \/>\nconsignments in which the Remdesivir was dispatched to India were not only sent&#13;<br \/>\non schedule but in all cases before the schedule,&#8221; commented Ambassador Ajit&#13;<br \/>\nGupte, India&#8217;s envoy to Egypt. &#8220;This was a period when the caseload was very&#13;<br \/>\nhigh in India, and the shipments would have helped to save a lot of&#13;<br \/>\nlives.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>EVA Pharma is the only company&#13;<br \/>\nin the Middle East or Africa that has been granted a voluntary license to produce&#13;<br \/>\nand distribute Remdesivir by Gilead Sciences, Inc, the owner of the molecule.&#13;<br \/>\nThe production lines at the EVA Pharma facility in Haram, Cairo, are certified&#13;<br \/>\nby the European Medicines Agency (EMA), enabling the company to export its&#13;<br \/>\nproducts globally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 cases in India have&#13;<br \/>\nsince declined, reducing the immediate pressure on local health systems and&#13;<br \/>\nsupply lines. Cases in other countries have gone up in recent months, however,&#13;<br \/>\nespecially due to the spread of the Delta variant. As a result, EVA Pharma has&#13;<br \/>\nincreased its exports of Remdesivir to other Asian countries such as&#13;<br \/>\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are proud to support&#13;<br \/>\nCOVID-19 efforts both in Egypt and around the world by manufacturing Remdesivir&#13;<br \/>\nat our world-class manufacturing facility in Cairo,&#8221; said Dr. Riad Armanious,&#13;<br \/>\nCEO of EVA Pharma. &#8220;With our monthly production of Remdesivir now amounting to&#13;<br \/>\n1.5 million doses, we are able to meet the local needs of Egyptian patients&#13;<br \/>\nwhile also helping other countries tackle this crisis. In fact, we now supply&#13;<br \/>\nmore than 20 countries around the world with Remdesivir.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0success of the&#13;<br \/>\ncooperation between EVA Pharma and India\u00a0highlights\u00a0the potential for&#13;<br \/>\nfurther\u00a0fruitful\u00a0collaboration\u00a0between emerging economies,&#13;<br \/>\nespecially during times of need.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As developing&#13;<br \/>\ncountries, what I can say is India and Egypt face similar challenges,&#8221; said&#13;<br \/>\nAmbassador Gupte. &#8220;One of the challenges we face is how we can provide&#13;<br \/>\naffordable health care to our millions of people because we are populous&#13;<br \/>\ncountries. Cost is important. So I think the closer the cooperation between&#13;<br \/>\nIndia and Egypt, the more we will be able to help provide basic needs for the&#13;<br \/>\npeople of our countries.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-07-27\/87773\/eva-pharma-supporting-india-amid-covid-19-surge\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAIRO,&#13; EGYPT &#8211; EQS Newswire &#8211; 27 July 2021 &#8211; EVA Pharma&#8217;s (www.EVAPharma.com) timely shipments of Remdesivir reached India during a major&#13; wave of coronavirus cases. &#13; &#13; When India experienced an&#13; unexpected COVID-19 surge this spring, the rapid increase in cases put pressure&#13; on the local pharmaceutical industry to supply the medicines needed.
