### Procurement Information

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) gave rise to an extremely urgent need for the Authority to purchase a quantity of Favipiravir because the Authority needs to be in a position to treat the population as required such that did not give the Authority sufficient time to comply with the standard Open Procedure time scales for this procurement.
