UAE approves Covid-19 treatment drug remdesivir
United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Health and Prevention has granted regulatory approval to Gilead Sciences for remdesivir, the first drug shown to be relatively effective in treating Covid-19.
At least two major US studies have shown that the anti-viral drug can reduce the duration of hospital stays for those suffering from the novel coronavirus.
