About This Scheme
Detailed Kerala is a state well known for its efficient and effective health care system. Despite these advancements, much headway could not be made in-home care. Most of the lowest income group always opt for homely treatment as they cannot afford the charges levied by the well-known hospitals. They are bedridden causing a heavy social burden on their family members who are forced to stay back at home to look after these bedridden patients. While the upper-income group can possibly afford to engage paid caregivers or home nurses for looking after such bedridden family members, the lower-income group usually take it upon themselves to care for their bedridden brethren. These family members in fact function as informal caregivers, without due recognition or economic gain. Coverage Of Diseases ● All bed-ridden patients who need a full-time caregiver. ● Mentally challenged (Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental retardation, Mental illness). ● 100 % blind, bed-ridden cancer patients, old-aged bed-ridden. ● Brittle bone disease.
