Answered by Pankaj Kamble
Given that the patients are below poverty and are not recovering from the treatment, you should go for a second opinion in a Government or Charitable hospital elsewhere. The Government/ Charitable Hospitals will provide you treatment at a highly discounted price based on your economic condition.
You will have to present following documents for discounts:
- Ration Card,
- Aadhar Card.
The hospitals you can approach for subsidized prices are:
- Mumbai:
- Tata Memorial Hospital (Government hospital)
- Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (Government hospital)
- Delhi:
- All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Government hospital)
- Delhi State Cancer Institute (Government hospital)
- Hyderabad:
- Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute (Charitable Hospital)
- Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (Government hospital)
- Bangalore:
