As of today this request has already taken 94 days 18 hours 26 minutes 59 seconds. Still "NO" response, DOH have not supported its use in treating Covid-19 patients. What is the basis of such actions? Provide me the studies, randomized clinical trials which supports the decision.
If such decision had been made 3 years ago, it must have been backed with studies and clinical trials. Now, I demand you to provide them to me.
Thank you.
