Russia offer oxygen and Remdesivir to India

Russia has offered to supply medical oxygen and Remdesivir to India and imports are likely to begin in the next 15 days. Indian hospitals have been reporting dwindling supplies of oxygen due to the surge in Covid-19 cases in the country. Stocks of antiviral drug Remdesivir, used to treat the disease, have also been running out.
Moscow has said it can supply 300,000-400,000 Remdesivir injections per week, which would be increased. Talks are on to begin oxygen supplies by ship soon, officials said.
