Hi,

Biliary atresia is a serious problem and worse part is it is less know. It has only surgical treatment and intially the procedure done is kasai procedure(in which a part of child intestine is used to replace the bile duct out of liver),but however if it fails then liver transplantation is the only option.
I am not sure over the cost of procedure in cmc vellore,but however if you are carrying your detailed certificate about income then you will be given priority and will be charged less(it can't be free totally but yes it will be very cheap)(otherwise also it is a missionary hospital and should be very cheap).
Aiims is also one of the finest hospitals where treatment is nearly free and there is a section in every private hospital which is designated for economic sections of society.
