With as many as 188 cases of Mucormycosis (Black Fungus) reported in the state so far, Chief Minister Captain Amrinder Singh on Thursday ordered a ramp-up of stocks of alternate drugs to treat the disease in view of the shortage of Amphotericin.
He also noted that the 6-member Expert Group has begun its task of advising hospitals on the treatment protocols and the use of various drugs being supplied to them.
