June 29, Fineko/abc.az. Egypt's Eva Pharma has begun producing Remdesivir and Favipiravir, two drugs used in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.

ABC.AZ reports with reference to news agency qafqazinfo that this data was informed by Reuters.

The company will initially make 500,000 doses a month to be sold locally for less than 2,000 Egyptian pounds ($124.07) each and has already started delivering the medicine to quarantine hospitals.

It has also started producing 1 million Favipiravir tablets a month to be on the market within two to three weeks. The price has still to be finalised.

Eva Pharma said it had received permission from Egypt’s pharmaceutical regulatory authority to produce the drugs, and the body would decided whether they could be sold in pharmacies or only used in hospitals.
