1. A dedicated fund would be deposited in the local account of the newly setup Max Super Specialty Health Care Centre Hospital at Bathinda and Mohali and managed by the Rogi Kalyan Smiti. It would be exclusively utilized for financing the medical treatment of economically poor patients suffering from cancer. According to the CM,the specific fund would comprise Rupees 3 crore as upfront consideration already paid by the Max Health Care in addition to 5 per cent of gross revenue annually. What needs to be seen is how this is being implemented - Whether the poor are actually being financed by the Rogi Kalyan Smiti or not.
2. An ultra modern hospital for the treatment of Cancer would be soon established at Bathinda under Baba Farid University of Health Sciences. Question remains when the acutal implementation will happen.
3. Govt. hospitals in the regions do not even have the machinery for cancer detection let alone doctors to give medical care. Steps should be taken by the Govt. in this regard urgently. Mammography machines should be available in each district or the prices in private hospitals should be controlled in Public Interest.
