Hello Narayan Ji,

We're sorry to hear about your niece’s diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML-M5). Given her young age, timely and proper treatment is crucial. Based on the details you’ve shared, we suggest:

  1. Ayushman Bharat Scheme: Under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), families with limited income can access free cancer treatment at empanelled hospitals. You can search for hospitals near your area under this scheme through the official website: Ayushman Bharat Empanelled Hospitals.

  2. Regional Cancer Centres (RCCs): India has several government-designated RCCs where advanced cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants, are provided either free or at a minimal cost. Examples include AIIMS (Delhi and regional centers), Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai), and CMC Vellore.

  3. State-Specific Schemes: Certain states offer additional financial assistance for pediatric cancer treatment. Check with local health authorities about programs available in your region.

  4. NGOs and Charitable Trusts: Organizations like the Indian Cancer Society, CanKids, or St. Jude India ChildCare Centres provide financial and logistical support for children with cancer.

  5. Next Steps: We recommend visiting the nearest Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospital or a Regional Cancer Centre for consultation and starting treatment at the earliest. Ensure you carry all medical records and income documents for eligibility verification.

If you wish to explore private hospital options for advanced care or second opinions, HexaHealth can assist in identifying the best pediatric oncology specialists and hospitals, arranging consultations, and offering guidance on financing options to make treatment more accessible. We’re here to support you throughout this process.
