SC to look into affordable access to life-saving cancer medicines

The Supreme Court has decided to delve into the critical issue of making life-saving cancer medicines affordable and addressing judicial delays in health-related cases. The court expressed concern over a breast cancer patient's case that languished for years in the Kerala high court, despite multiple hearings, before she passed away. This move highlights the urgent need to ensure timely and accessible healthcare, especially for life-threatening illnesses, and underscores the broader implications for patient rights and the healthcare system's efficiency.
