Kerala orders probe into whether expired Remdesivir was linked to Nipah deaths

Kerala Health Minister K Muraleedharan told the Assembly that a medical board will examine whether Nipah patients who died in 2023, 2024 and 2025 had been given expired batches of Remdesivir. He said the drug was supplied to hospitals only through the Kerala Medical Services Corporation, whose last purchase was 3,000 vials on June 3, 2021, for ₹42 lakh.
