Dear Saba Khan ji,

Tonsil surgery (tonsillectomy) is included under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) as part of ENT procedures, and you should not have to pay ₹1.2 lakh if your sister is treated at an empanelled hospital.

In Ernakulam, here are some confirmed hospitals that accept the Ayushman card for ENT surgeries:

  • General Hospital Ernakulam – A government facility with ENT services and PMJAY support

  • Chaithanya ENT Hospital – A private PMJAY‑empanelled centre specialising in ENT care

  • Sunrise Institute of Medical Sciences – Empanelled hospital offering general and ENT surgery

How to check empanelled hospitals in your area:

  1. Visit https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/

  2. Select State: Kerala and District: Ernakulam

  3. Choose Hospital Type: Government or Private

  4. In Speciality, select ENT (or leave blank) and click Search

  5. You will see a list of Ayushman-empanelled hospitals where tonsillectomy can be done cashless

If Ayushman card is not accepted by the hospital you prefer, other options include:

  • Zero-cost or low-interest EMI options: HexaHealth can help arrange financing so that the cost can be paid in affordable monthly installments

  • Private health insurance: If your family has any other insurance, it may also cover ENT surgeries

  • Subsidised care at government medical colleges or charitable hospitals

Dear Doctor, I am experiencing multiple lipomas across my body, including visible lumps and smaller ones under the skin. These are especially noticeable in a line along my back and around my nipples. Recently, I’ve also observed an increase in small lumps throughout my body. I would like your advice on diagnosis
