The Delhi High Court was due to hear the octogenarian's petition seeking admission to a government hospital with ventilator facilities and free treatment.
SC was hearing a PIL filed by advocate Sachin Jain who said private hospitals, which have been given land free of cost, should not charge for Covid-19 treatment.
Sun Pharma said human safety study of AQCH already completed, clinical trials will be conducted across 12 centres on 210 patients. The treatment duration will be 10 days.
Three of the four authors of the study apologised to The Lancet's editors and readership for any embarrassment or inconvenience their published findings may have caused.
Gilead Sciences says it will ‘work closely with the health authorities in India to provide guidance on anticipated drug supply based on local incidence and severity of disease’.
Questions have been raised on the Lancet HCQ study over dataset and methodology. Another journal has issued similar concern over a study that used same data.

Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.

All COVID-19 treatment for all citizens in both government and private hospitals should be completely free. Apart from purely humanitarian reasons the fact remains the Government of India has failed to protect its citizens from contracting the illness, particularly the elderly, and should bear financial responsibility. There is no point in any nationalist pretensions if the Indian government cannot save the lives of its people at a time of crisis like this.
It is absolutely ridiculous to say that people should be treated absolutely free ! There is no such thing as “free”. There is always a cost – paid by everyone and it is much more than what you pay individually.
The doctors wont work for free, the nurses won’t work for free, the ventilator won’t work for free, the medicines and PPEs are not free and the ICUs are not free.
The cheapest option is to take preventive care and be very very careful about coronavirus. Prevention is CHEAPER than the CURE.
1 Condolences.

4What is the lawyer’s fee?
These informations should also be put in public domain.
