AIIMS: Fund crunch to treat rare diseases

NEW DELHI: AIIMS has told the Delhi high court that its non-plan budget is only sufficient to procure commonly used and emergency medical items and not for getting medicines for treatment of rare diseases.

AIIMS submitted to the court that it is constrained by time and budget to adhere to principle of maximum good for maximum people.

"It is not possible, given current budgetary constraints, to include treatment of specific and rare diseases in this list as the non-plan budget of the hospital is only sufficient to ensure procurement of commonly-used and emergency items," it has said in an affidavit.

The affidavit came in response to a plea for free treatment to a street vendor's two-year-old son suffering from a rare genetic disorder.
