The Maharashtra government would be bearing the expenses of Remdesivir injections in private hospitals for the patients belonging to Scheduled Tribes, State Tribal Development Department Minister K.C. Padvi said on Wednesday. Mr. Padvi said Maharashtra was witnessing a rise in number of COVID-19 cases and this pandemic was not limited to urban areas but had spread to rural parts and even tribal hamlets. “Considering the lack of resources with the tribal population, the State government has decided to pay for the Remdesivir injection if administered in private medical facilities,” he said.More Related News
