A diagnosis for a life-threatening disease can be financially and emotionally devastating for families. General health insurance may cover only so much, and other comprehensive plans do not cover expenses for the entire treatment. In such medical emergencies, the government has multiple schemes and funding options in place that provide financial aid on an ad-hoc basis, to help those affected.
Here are 3 national schemes offered by the state of Tamil Nadu to provide treatment aid to cancer patients:
Under this scheme, families under the BPL category would be given insurance cover via empanelled hospitals in the state. This scheme aims to reduce the financial hardship of enrolled families in case of health emergencies or unexpected diagnoses of severe illnesses like cancer.
