    The role of remdesivir in South Africa : preventing COVID-19 deaths through increasing intensive care unit capacity
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-05) Nichols, Brooke E.; Jamieson, Lise; Zhang, Sabrina R. C.; Rao, Gabriella A.; Silal, Sheetal; Pulliam, Juliet R. C.; Sanne, Ian; Meyer-Rath, Gesine
    Countries such as South Africa have limited intensive care unit (ICU) capacity to handle the expected number of patients with COVID-19 requiring ICU care. Remdesivir can prevent deaths in countries such as South Africa by decreasing the number of days people spend in ICU, therefore freeing up ICU bed capacity.
