Most are unaware of the official procedure for admission of such cases in hospitals
The dearth of treatment facilities and supply of medicines in many cases is forcing mucormycosis (black fungus) patients in other districts to seek medical help in Bengaluru. However, when they arrive at the State’s capital, most are unable to find a bed as they were unaware of the official procedure where District Health Officers (DHOs) have to be alerted so that beds can be organised for them. Others travel to the city only to realise that they have been falsely diagnosed with black fungus.
