NPSS also provides financial assistance to poor patients undergoing treatment at Government hospitals like Tata Cancer Hospital, KEM, LTMG Sion hospital & Wadia hospital. Applications for such patients are received directly from Medical Social Worker (MSW) of the respective hospitals.

The amount in the range of Rs.2,500/- to 5,000/- per patient depending on requirement is given.
