Onus shifted to hospitals treating Mucormycosis patients
There is a change in the policy to procure medicines for Mucormycosis patients admitted in private hospitals. Until a week ago, people had to apply online for Liposomal Amphotericin-B. After receiving approval from a government-appointed committee, one could proceed to buy the medicine vials from a designated stockist. However, currently, the onus of applying and procuring the medicine vials has been shifted to hospitals treating Mucormycosis patients. Director of Medical Education K. Ramesh Reddy said that hospitals have to prepare a list of patients with them, submit the requirement for them with a nodal officer at Director of Public Health office, receive approval and procure medicines from stockists.More Related News
