The Ashok Foundation shared on LinkedIn:
“A Welcome Step Towards Affordable Cancer Care!
Heartfelt thanks to the Government of India for this encouraging move to reduce the prices of 137 cancer drugs by up to 70%. This decision brings hope, financial relief and renewed strength to countless cancer patients and their families.
Sincere appreciation to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for bringing the issue of excessive trade margins in cancer medicines to attention and prompting action towards greater affordability.
Together, let us work towards a future where no patient loses hope because treatment is unaffordable.”
To which, Anuranjan Srivastava, Founder President of The Ashok Foundation – Care Beyond Cure, added:
“Affordable treatment is not a privilege – it is a lifeline.
Every cancer patient deserves access to quality care without the burden of unbearable medical expenses.
Thanks to the Hon’ble Supreme Court and Government Of India for their kind intervention.”
