A day after the Punjab Government notified Mucormycosis (black fungus) as a disease under the Epidemic Diseases Act, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday directed the Health Department to ensure that the necessary medicines for treating the same are made available to all the government hospitals, including in the rural areas.
He also asked the Department to depute doctors at the Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in villages to ensure the early detection and treatment of the fungal disease.
Stressing that early detection of the disease could prevent it from being fatal, the Chief Minister asked the Covid Expert team headed by Dr K K Talwar to ensure that doctors in the L3 facilities of all government hospitals are directed on proper treatment of Covid patients to check irrational use of steroids, which has been identified as the main cause of this disease, especially among diabetic patients.
The Chief Minister also asked Dr. Talwar and his team to analyse why patients were returning to hospitals even after recovering from Covid.
