Does NHS in UK cover for students of other coutries?

Dear Friends,
I am Nagesh, from Bangalore, India. My son Nischal, now 23years was diagnosed with ‘Wegener’s granulomatosis’ when he was 13 years old. Now he is on maintenance dose of Rituximab 500mg once in six months and prednesoline 5mg daily. He has completed his undergraduate course in Bangalore, India and he wants to do his masters in UK. So, I have been asking education consultancy to get me clarification whether NHS will cover his maintenance and in case of flare treatments in UK. They are not specifically saying whether it covers or not. I will be very much thankful if someone can give inputs in this regard.


Thank you
Nagesh
