According to Wion report, Indian officials have confirmed that they have received request for hydroxychloroquine but will review domestic requirements first.
US President said, “I called PM Modi of India…they make large amounts of hydroxychloroquine, very large amounts frankly. And I said, they had a hold, they have 1.5 billion people, and I said, I would appreciate it if they would release the amounts we have ordered and they are giving it serious consideration. India makes a lot of it.”
