Child Medical Rights

In India, medical expenses can be a significant financial burden for families, particularly those with limited financial resources. According to a study by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), over 85% of healthcare expenses are paid out-of-pocket by patients and their families. Additionally, the rising cost of medical treatments, coupled with a lack of access to health insurance, can make it challenging for families to afford necessary medical care. This often leads to delayed treatment or the inability to receive appropriate medical care altogether. The high cost of medical expenses is a significant issue that affects many families in India, particularly those with children suffering from diseases.

a significant proportion of children who come from middle and lower-class families are suffering from diseases and require immediate financial assistance to access medical care. According to a report by the National Health Profile, over 34% of children in India are malnourished, which increases their susceptibility to diseases. Additionally, the lack of access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and healthcare infrastructure in many parts of the country exacerbates the health issues faced by these children. Many families are unable to afford the high cost of medical treatments, resulting in delayed or inadequate care for their children. As a result, a significant number of children from financially middle and lower-class families are in urgent need of financial assistance to receive the medical care they require.
