Piramal Critical Care partners with Medivant Healthcare to provide injectable drugs in the US

Piramal Critical Care (PCC) announced a strategic partnership with US-based pharmaceutical outsourcing facility, Medivant Healthcare, to help address the severe shortage of injectable drugs in hospitals across the United States.

Piramal Critical Care has a marketing and sales team with a strong footprint across the United States, serving nearly all hospitals and surgical facilities nationwide. Through this partnership, PCC and Medivant Healthcare will work together to distribute single-dose injectable drugs in approved states for COVID-19 patients that have fallen dangerously short in supply.

Our partnership with Medivant Healthcare will leverage our robust nationwide US marketing and distribution capabilities that will enable supply of single-dose injectable products to critical and sensitive markets for immediate use.”

“We are happy to enter an important partnership with Piramal Critical Care amidst a global healthcare crisis,” said Founder and Director of Medivant Healthcare, Viraj Gandhi. “Coupling our focus on producing critical shortage medications with PCC’s extensive market reach, I am confident that together we will play an integral role in helping hospitals across the country alleviate these acute drug shortages.”
