31st May 2021 Ahmedabad: State education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama visited the Cadila Pharmaceuticals plant at Dholka in Ahmedabad district and felicitated the COVID Warriors for their service at the COVID care centre at Dholka.

Cadila Pharmaceuticals, along with the Indian Red Cross Society, Dholka, Mangal Mandir Manav Seva Parivaar, Bagodara, Dholka Seva Parivaar, and Faraj Trust, had set up the free COVID care centre at Dholka with medicine and oxygen support.

Cadila Pharmaceuticals also provided (free of cost to the centre) 600 doses of Sepsivac, an immunomodulator found to show success in some COVID treatment cases. More than 1,100 COVID patients have received treatment at the COVID care centre, while 150 patients have received in-house treatment so far.
