Cancer treatment in India has always been an economic burden on the patient and his family. Millions of rupees cost due to chemotherapy drugs, various tests and long -term treatments. Apart from this, the additional burden of GST was further increased by this cost, but now the government has taken a big step and reduced GST on cancer treatment drugs and services. This will provide financial relief to patients and their families.
What will cost from chemotherapy to drugs?
Chemotherapy is the most expensive and long -lasting process in the treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy drugs cost around Rs 1 lakh. Earlier, the total cost of GST was imposed on it, but now after reducing the GST, the patients will save Rs 12,000 directly.
There will be such relief on cancer drugs
GST reduction will also affect other cancer drugs. The cost of these drugs sometimes reaches Rs 5 lakh. Earlier, the price was increased to Rs 5,60,000 due to GST, but now the GST zero will save patients directly to Rs 60,000. At such a large cost, this relief will be a great relief for the pockets of the family.
Savings on treatment and other services
The total cost of complete treatment of cancer, including drugs, chemotherapy and other medical services, is about Rs. 3,30,000 and sometimes more. Earlier, after imposing GST on it, the cost was Rs. It was reaching 3,50,000 but now the patients have to pay Rs. There will be direct savings of up to 16,000.
Patients will get financial relief
This decision to reduce GST is a ray of hope for patients and their families. In a country like India where millions of people come from the middle and poor class, this savings on treatment is very important for them. Treatment of serious diseases such as cancer will now be cheaper to some extent. Cancer treatment is definitely expensive, but the reduction of this GST by the government has given great relief to patients. The total cost of treatment from chemotherapy to drugs will save thousands of rupees. Not only will this move reduce the financial burden but also encouraged more and more patients to get timely treatment.
