Monthly Pension for Cancer, Leprosy and Tuberculosis Patients Raised to Rs. 2,000


The Kerala Government has increased the monthly financial assistance for people suffering from cancer, leprosy, and tuberculosis to Rs. 2,000, as announced in the 2026-27 State Budget. The increase aims to support patients who face long-term treatment and high medical expenses, while strengthening their social security.


The monthly assistance will help patients meet the cost of medicines, medical tests, and nutritious food, which is essential for recovery. It will also support families when the patient is unable to work due to illness, helping them manage daily expenses. The assistance is intended to ensure that financial difficulties do not delay treatment and that patients can live with dignity.


Eligible patients can apply through their Gram Panchayat, Municipality, or Corporation office, or online through Akshaya Centres. The scheme provides financial support to patients and their families facing economic hardship.
