My doctor recommended spine surgery but it's too expensive for us to afford right now I heard about schemes like NTR health seva that might help cover the costs but I'm not sure how they work or if they apply to this situation Could someone guide me on what options might be available for financial assistance with spinal procedures

If your spine surgery is recommended and deemed medically necessary but is too expensive, you could explore government schemes like NTR Vaidya Seva in Andhra Pradesh, or other similar initiatives in Maharashtra if applicable. These schemes can provide financial assistance or even cover the entire cost of certain procedures, but eligibility criteria and the specific procedures covered may vary
