In the wake of this, the World Health Organization (WHO) found out that 'dexamethasone' drug can be the life-saving drug in the process of finding a potential vaccine.

The clinical trials conducted in the United Kingdom showed that the 'dexamethasone' might play a crucial role in finding a potential vaccine. In treating the critically ill patients of the pandemic the cheap drug ranks high.

Health Experts in the UK maintained that the dexamethasone drug which is a low-dose steroid might turn life-saving in combating the contagious disease. The drug can also bring down the risk of death in the patients.

WHO Chief Andhanom Ghebreyesus congratulated the UK Government, Oxford University, and the doctors and patients who bestowed in coming up with this lifesaving breakthrough.
