 "Hydroxychloroquine, coronavirus, covid-19, drug, drugs, pharma, pharmaceutical")
The government has decided to lift a partial ban on hydroxychloroquine after US President Donald Trump requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to export the drug to aid America's fight against the deadly Covid-19 disease.
Official sources told IANS that the government will clear the existing orders immediately on humanitarian grounds. The Centre, sources said, will not ban but restrict the export of hydroxychloroquine and paracetamol depending on the availability of stock after meeting domestic requirements.
The Ministry of External Affairs and pharma industry will decide on such allocations depending on the humanitarian crisis, sources said.
