Georgia to Buy 4,000 Flasks of Remdesivir

The Government of Georgia plans to buy 4,000 flasks of Remdesivir. The corresponding procurement process was announced by the Infectious Diseases, AIDS, and Clinical Immunology Research Centre (IDACIRC). The negotiations are underway. The procurement cost is $104,000.

“The number of COVID-infected citizens is extremely growing in Georgia. At this stage, there are no approved effective anti-virus treatment platforms. However, based on the world experience and various research works, at this stage, Remdesivir is considered to be the most effective and encouraging medication that alleviates the disease process and reduces the death toll.

Over the past few weeks, the number of heavy patients is growing in Georgia and worldwide. The death toll also rises. Therefore, it is of vital importance for Georgia to create Remdesivir reserves”, the statement reads. The medication will be supplied to Georgia in 3 weeks after the contract conclusion.
