MUMBAI: Bombay high court bench at Aurangabad on Monday sought wide publicity to two schemes for the underprivileged mucormycosis patients and details from the chief public prosecutor for the state about availability of medicines necessary for its treatment. The chief PP D R Kale said he would address the HC on May 25, Tuesday, after seeking instructions regarding medicine availability.
The Maharashtra government on Monday informed the bench that two schemes for free treatment to underprivileged beneficiaries at selected hospitals would cover mucormycosis cases.
The HC directed that notwithstanding the policy, identified private hospitals would be restrained from raising autonomical bills and the cost of treatment would be monitored by the rates.
