Mumbai:
Rajesh Tope on Monday informed that the patients of
Mucormycosis will now be treated for free under the state government s flagship medical insurance scheme.
Mucormycosis is a rare but serious fungal infection that has been affecting those who have tested positive for
coronavirus.
Mucormycosis patients will be covered under the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana since the medicines required to combat the fungal infection are expensive, an official statement quoted Tope as saying.
Patients will be treated for free at 1000 hospitals across the state which are covered under the scheme.
