Pakistan provides 315,000 effective tablets overnight to treat COVID-19 in China

(22 Feb) Chloroquine phosphate is found to be able to treat COVID-19 in mainland China, however such production was suspended in China for 20 years.

On 5 February, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited, GPHL, first purchased 15,000 tablets of chloroquine phosphate in Pakistan through various channels, and then purchased another 200,000 tablets. The drugs arrived in Guangzhou at 7:00 p.m. on 8 February.

Bayer China, a medical care and healthcare company in China, had also made an emergency deployment to purchase chloroquine phosphate tablets in Pakistan at the beginning of February and the batch of medicines was completed in 24 hours, and that 200,000 of the 300,000 tablets were "sold" to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited (GPHL) at zero renminbi.

It took less than 4 days from the purchased medicines in Pakistan to arriving in Guangzhou. It is not easy for Pakistan to urgently collect, transport and cooperate to undertake the fastest international rescue for dispensing the effective drugs to treat COVID-19, as transport infrastructure in Pakistan is not well developed and currently it is suffering from severe locust plague.
