Bihar Mukhyamantri Haemophilia Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Bihar Mukhyamantri Haemophilia Yojana is a new state health scheme launched to support haemophilia patients across Bihar. The Bihar Cabinet approved this scheme on 30 September 2026, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. It aims to give haemophilia patients better and more consistent access to treatment.

Haemophilia is a rare genetic condition that stops blood from clotting normally. It can cause prolonged bleeding, spontaneous bleeding, easy bruising, and joint pain. Patients often need regular, high-cost medication for life. Without support, many families struggle to keep up with this ongoing expense. The Mukhyamantri Haemophilia Yojana is designed to ease this financial burden.

Under this scheme, the Bihar government will provide free access to Emicizumab, an advanced non-factor medicine for haemophilia patients. Emicizumab works differently from standard clotting-factor treatments. It is given less often, which can make regular care easier for patients. A single vial of this medicine costs ₹39,723. A patient weighing around 30 kg needs 78 vials, which shows just how expensive this treatment can be without government support. The scheme is funded through the Chief Minister's Medical Assistance Fund, and the Health Department, Government of Bihar, is expected to serve as the nodal agency for its implementation.

The Bihar Cabinet approved a first-year administrative sanction of ₹26.33 crore for this scheme. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary stated that this is a sensitive initiative in the health sector, aimed at easing the treatment burden on haemophilia patients. The government has currently identified 255 haemophilia patients in Bihar who stand to benefit from this scheme. This number may rise once the scheme is formally rolled out and more patients come forward for registration.

This is not the first time Bihar has built a dedicated welfare scheme around a specific chronic illness. The state already runs the Bihar Shatabdi Kust Kalyan Yojana for leprosy patients and the Bihar Shatabdi Aids Pirit Kalyan Yojana for AIDS-affected patients. Both schemes follow a similar pattern of long-term, disease-specific support through the Health Department. The Mukhyamantri Haemophilia Yojana extends this same approach to haemophilia patients.

This scheme also adds to Bihar's existing efforts to support haemophilia patients, including the Haemophilia Hospital in Patna and the day-care centres for haemophilia and thalassaemia patients set up earlier in 2026 across six major medical colleges in the state. Together, these steps point to a stronger, more organised system of haemophilia care in Bihar.
