Ten News Network

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has informed that 10,000 sachets of anti-COVID drug 2-DG will be available in the market from Thursday.

The anti-COVID drug has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Launching the ‘Services e-Health Assistance and Tele-consultation (SeHAT)’ OPD Portal via video conferencing, Singh lauded the armed forces, stating that it is a key step taken at a very critical time for the health of service personnel as it will reduce the load of the hospitals.

Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat, Army Chief Gen M M Naravane, and Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh were among those who attended the event.

Referring to the second wave of the COVID-19, the Defence Minister said, “This wave of COVID is unprecedented and more dangerous than earlier. But the Defence Ministry has rendered its services in the second wave too. DRDO has set up COVID hospitals and oxygen generation plants in Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi, and many other parts of the country.”
