Cipla

Dr Bharat Gopal, Pulmonologist and Dr Mansi Bajaj, General Physician, help us understand how this new form of treatment works.

Established by Khawaja Abdul Hamied, and taken to great heights by his son, Yusuf K Hamied, Cipla has been manufacturing generic drugs and supplying them at affordable prices for years.

The government has approved two anti-viral drugs. While Favipiravir is for those with mild to moderate symptoms of coronavirus, Remdesivir is for patients on oxygen support.

Low-cost, generic medicines produced in India are helping millions of people across the world get affordable, high-quality medication.
