Government ENT Hospital to be nodal centre; steps on to procure anti-fungal medicines, says DME
The government ENT Hospital at Koti has been designated nodal centre for admitting and treating Black Fungus (Mucormycosis) cases. The fungal infection patients who are still COVID positive or may need multidisciplinary treatment, such as those with pulmonary involvement, will be admitted at Gandhi Hospital, Musheerabad. As some of these cases would need intervention of ophthalmologist, services of specialists from SD Eye Hospital would be used. Orders to this effect were issued by Telangana’s Director of Medical Education (DME) K. Ramesh Reddy on Saturday. He said that the nodal centre was created based on instructions from Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to treat the cases.
