Battling the pandemic!

Mounting ‘on-site’ infections coupled with lockdown posed significant operational challenges

20,000+ COVID-19 vaccines administered to employees, their families and our neighbouring communities

Ramped up production of Itolizumab to serve patients in the second wave: 27,000+ lives impacted

With vaccinations picking up pace, we are hopeful of the situation improving

==> picture [128 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

When I came off the ventilator, I was told to be prepared for convalescent plasma therapy. But its need was mitigated by the administration of ALZUMAb-L (Itolizumab), which foiled the lifethreatening impact of cytokine storm due to COVID-19. My turnaround was miraculous.

  • Dr. Belani, Mumbai

I was admitted in the ICU when the doctors administered Itolizumab, following which my condition improved. I was moved out of the ICU the next day. Within a few days, I was helping other patients, even those in wheelchairs.
