MP High Court Seeks Additional Rs 1 Crore for Girl's Rare Disease Treatment
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has urged the Centre and state government to find additional financial support for the treatment of three-year-old Anika Sharma, who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type-2. The total treatment cost is about Rs 9.55 crore, with Rs 50 lakh available from a central scheme and around Rs 8 crore raised through NGOs and charities. Despite this, an extra Rs 1 crore is still needed. The court directed submission of relevant documents and bills to AIIMS for further action.
