The fear is not only of death, there is also the fear of how the expenses for treatment will be met.

Profiteering That means ‘loot-khasot’ will no longer work.
What is CM’s order?

The CM said in simple words that the disease is fatal and the prices of medicines are so high that poor people lose courage – this will no longer be tolerated in Jharkhand.
Why take advantage of the patient’s helplessness?
Often we see that some cancer injections or medicines, which are available in bulk at low prices, are sold to patients by retailers at several times higher prices. Since the patient has no other option, out of compulsion he gets ready to pay the asking price.
Hemant Soren government is like this “Profit Margin” Trying to control. So that the patient can get the discount that the middlemen are enjoying.
Steps towards affordable treatment
Not only to stop profiteering, the government intends to ensure that the citizens of the state get the best treatment and that too at low cost. This step was also necessary because cancer cases are continuously increasing and not every family can afford the expenditure of lakhs.
