Patients who have recovered from Covid19 are now facing black fungus known as Mucormycosis. The treatment of this is very costly and most of the patients are unable to pay off the huge treatment costs. Patients who are diagnosed with Mucormycosis can now avail the Urban Poor Scheme of the Pune Municipal Corporation and get themselves treated. Earlier, Rs 1 lakh was sanctioned to cover up the expenses, but now the limit has been extended to Rs 3 lakhs.
