Claim: Remdesivir Injection can be purchased directly from Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra for ₹899 as against ₹4000 charged by medical shops.
Fact-check: No, Remdesivir cannot be purchased directly from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendras at ₹899 - FACTLY
Verdict: remdesivir cannot be purchased directly from pradhan mantri bharatiya jan aushadhi kendra. this anti-viral drug is not part of the list of generic medicines given on the jan aushadhi government website. the claim that remdesivir can be purchased at ₹899 is also misleading, as only one indian manufacturer  has slashed its price earlier in march. hence the claim is misleading.
