Medical battle against Covid-19
The medicine and healthcare sector is leading the global fight against the virus. For instance, masks, sanitizers, and gloves are high demand and stocks are running out in all parts of the country.
Some firms have seized the opportunity to manufacture such equipment and fill the shortage after government fast-tracked manufacturing permission.
It may be noted that at least 15 firms received permission from the government to produce PPEs or personal protective equipment including Arvind Mills, JCT Mills Phagwara, Amare Safety, Mumbai-based Sure Safety, Delhi-based Sai Synergy, Manchanda, and Shree Healthcare, Chennai.
All of these companies have been given permission by the government to produce surgical gloves, goggles, hand sanitizer, clinical dump bags, blood and fluid spill kits, mask fit test kits, and thermometers.
