Sir,
Refer news item ‘Cancer being declared as Notified disease’ DE Oct 15.
In case the disease-Cancer is notified by the State Government, it will be a big step to provide succour to the patients and his family.
Due to high cost of drugs for treatment of cancer, it has been seen that most of the patients virtually come to on roads as they can’t bear the enormous expenditure that incurs on it in these days. Some families have to beg for money, some to sell their property to treat the patients. Even after incurring so much of expenses, one is not sure whether one recovers from it. There have been instances when people has lost both patient and property to this diseases.
The Government must declare it a Notified Disease at the earliest so that patients suffering it heave a sigh of relief. Then next move is in the hands of God.
Besides, the infrastructure in the Oncology Department in GMC should be brought at International Standards, so that people of the State do not move outside the State for treatment. It adds further burden on the patient.
Yours etc……
