Many are forced to seek treatment in private hospitals
Ravi G. waited for hours at Bowring and Lady Curzon Medical College and Research Institute to get a bed for his brother Muralikrishna, who was diagnosed with black fungus or mucormycosis after he got COVID-19. But the wait was in vain.
The government had earmarked 10 beds at the institute for COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM), which filled up within hours on Wednesday. “There is a long queue of patients waiting for a bed. I eventually admitted my brother to a private hospital, but I am unable to bear the expense,” said Mr. Ravi.
