Vidaza treatment - South Africa

My father has been diagnosed with MDS. His doctor has said he needs to have 6 cycles of Vidaza.

However, his medical aid is not willing to cover the Vidaza treatment and it's going to cost him R354000 for the 6 cycles. The state hospitals apparently do not issue Vidaza so we have hit a brick wall there.

Does anyone has any experience with this or know of anyway we can work around all these "excuses" the medical aid are giving us? Any help or advise will be appreciated!
