Consider free treatment for cancer patients

The social media platforms usually remain flooded with the video being circulated by the netizens, seeking help for poor patients, who are mostly suffering from Cancer disease. However, the government has already announced health schemes for the people while the recent data by the government showed that lakhs of beneficiaries have been provided free and cashless treatments under the scheme. But, to provide better and free treatment to the cancer patients, is the top-most priority at present as most of the patients suffering from such a deadly disease, are not able to pay the hefty sum for their treatment and thus result in their immense hardships. Not only the videos on social media, but many people in the vans have been found begging for the poor patients for their treatment, which is a great cause of concern for one and all. It is the time when the government should come up with a special scheme for cancer patients, so that their treatment is not delayed and is ensured at every hospital across Jammu and Kashmir. The free-treatment to such patients is the need of the hour, therefore the government should ponder over the issue and must ensure that all the necessary and needful steps and measures are taken in the right direction so that a large number of poor patients, who are suffering from cancer disease, could heave a sigh of relief and are not forced to beg before the people for any sort of assistance.
