Black fungus: Patients have right to life, can’t be given preference over others, says Delhi HC
India TV NewsBlack fungus: Patients have right to life, can’t be given preference over others, says Delhi HC The court said it was sure that a patient’s granddaughter, who was seeking direction to the govt and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to provide sufficient number of vials of Amphotericin B to him, was not seeking any preferential treatment over other patients. The Delhi High Court Thursday said every patient has a right to life and to live with dignity but it cannot give privilege to anyone over other patients for providing medicine to treat black fungus, primarily affecting those recovered or recovering from COVID-19. The court said it was sure that a patient’s granddaughter, who was seeking direction to the government and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to provide sufficient number of vials of Amphotericin B to him, was not seeking any preferential treatment over other patients. “Since the petitioner has now been included in the system set up in place for allocation of medicine for treatment of black fungus, we are hopeful that further allocation will be made while making it for other patients at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital as well,” a bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh said.
