The sudden spike in the cases of Mucormycosis, commonly known as black fungus, has led to an increase in the demand of the essential drug ‘Amphotericin B’ that is being used to treat the disease. Looking at the huge demand for the drug, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told the concerned officials to procure it from anywhere in the world. The government "has given licenses to 5 more companies that can manufacture this drug."
