MP man denied injection, wife threatens suicide

Indore, May 18

The purported video of a woman threatening to jump off the roof of a hospital in Indore in Madhya Pradesh if her husband suffering from Mucormycosis or black fungus infection does not get an injection required for its treatment went viral on Tuesday.

A hospital official said the woman’s 40-year-old husband had been administered Amphotericin-B injections, but he would need more shots and this had left her disturbed.

“The injection (Amphotericin-B) is not available in this hospital. Where should I take him in this condition,” the woman said in the video.

“If I don’t get the injection today, I will jump off the roof of the hospital. I have no other option left,” she says in the video message addressed to CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, state Health Minister Prabhu Ram Choudhary and Indore Collector Manish Singh.

Bombay Hospital general manager Rahul Parasher said the woman was counseled, “but she was in a disturbed state of mind at present”. PTI
