In our city hospitals, the tests for warfarin dosing and for certain cancer drugs like tamoxifen have proven their worth, translating global science to our local bodies. Yet, my own insurance papers show a curious gap: they gladly cover a costly cardiac stent but balk at the simpler test that could have fine-tuned my blood pressure medicine from the start. It reminds me of the Assamese saying, ‘gharor kukur bideshi swān’—sometimes we chase foreign solutions while overlooking the wise tool at home. So the real meaning of the result is not just in the report, but in the fight to make it a covered essential, not a luxury.
