Maharashtra’s Pune has recorded over 300 black fungus cases and there is a shortage of injection which treats the people from fungus, said Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Friday.
He said: “Presently there are over 300 cases of black fungus in Pune, including many outsiders (residents of other districts). There’s a shortage of injections for them. If there are 300 patients, around 1800 injections a day are needed and that is not available in required number. A person with mucormycosis needs to be given six injections in a day.”
Meanwhile, the Dy CM further said that Health Minister Rajesh Tope, in a meeting with PM Modi, has demanded more injections to treat the infection. “We also spoke to its manufacturers & we were informed they’ve been asked to give it to Centre that will decide on the allocation to states,” he added.
