SMIMER officials say they are not able to meet even 10% of requests for liposomal amphotericin-B injections
Surat: Unavailability of Liposomal Amphotericin B injections, the only treatment for black fungus infection, has delayed the number of surgeries of mucormycosis patients in the city in the last couple of weeks.
Doctors said that although the distribution of injections from the SMIMER Hospital has streamlined, the numbers being distributed is not enough to cater to all patients.
Officials at SMIMER confirmed that they receive requests for around 1,000-1,500 injections daily from private hospitals but are not able to provide even 10% of it.
Liposomal amphotericin-B is used after surgeries to prevent the fungus from spreading to other organs.
