Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], May 28 (ANI): Uttarakhand has received 15,000 vials of Amphotericin-B, the drug used for treating patients with black fungus, from a Rudrapur-based pharmacy company, late on Thursday.
The drug department of the state secured the order for Amphotericin-B injections last night.
The State Drug Controller, Tajbar Singh Jaggi said, "These injections came on orders of Doon Medical College Hospital, so they will first go to them and after that, they will be distributed".
The state has also placed another order of 1,200 injections with other pharmaceutical companies.
Jaggi added, "In addition to this, 1,200 injection orders have been given to other pharmaceutical companies, and will be available in a couple of days".
Due to a spurt in the black fungus disease, the state had placed orders for anti-fungal injections.
Uttarakhand Government had announced the production of Amphotericin-B injections on May 24.
The mortality rate of COVID-related deaths in Uttarakhand stands at 1.89 per cent and the state ranks second in COVID-related deaths after Punjab, the state health department informed on Thursday.
