Description
Cancer care can wreck a family's finances as surely as it tests the body, a harm with its own name: financial toxicity. Saurabh Joshi and six co-authors take up that harm in India, where it strikes those in palliative and hospice care with full force. Their 2024 article maps the burden and hunts for remedies.
The load brings distress, isolation, and burnout. In India it is fed by a fast rise in cancer cases, thin state funds for health, patchy insurance, and low financial know-how among staff and public alike. Past work puts the share of patients hit between thirty and ninety percent. The authors weigh frames and fixes, from early money advice to wider cover, that could give patients a more balanced financial path through care.
