But can anyone explain to me why it should take a month for a committee to develop a plan for private hospital procurement? And why will the purchases by private hospitals be limited to 10 million doses, which are enough for only 5 million people, when there is an expected shortfall of at least 70 million doses if the entire population is to be immunised?
