Plight of CGHS beneficiaries
My mother went to CGHS dispensary at Yamuna Vihar for treatment second time after a week because the medicine given were of no use. The doctor in-charge refuse to see her or give any new medicine and told her to come after a week. I feel like slapping the doctor for his un courteous and inhumane act.

P S Mehra

CGHS is a completely failure system. Every beneficiary is suffering at the hands of the ruthless CGHS doctors. The system needs an immediate overhaul. It is better to privatise it and empanelled private hospitals should be given more powers to treat in-patient beneficiaries without any referrals of CGHS doctors.

Rajesh

I have been seeing the comments of various sufferers of CGHS beneficiary in your esteemed forum which is now so popular even amongst senior level bureaucrats. Surprisingly there is no reaction from officers of Health ministry. To add the woos further i inform all the concerned officials that it is close to impossible to take treatment and the medicines issued from CGHS wellness center Dwarka, NewDelhi. This is the only dispensary in Dwarka covering 24 sectors and neighbouring Najafgarh area. About 400 beneficiaries visit this centre for taking treatment, getting medicines issued or even getting permission for referral every day. Whole process takes three to four hours. only fit person can stand this physical torture. Imagine the plight of heart and cancer patients. There is no such Separate counter for senior citizens or cancer patients. The health ministry should
pity on them. Person manning the registration counter, doctors seeing the patients, pharmacist issuing drug on different counters all lose patience and pick quarrel. There is always an avoiding tendency. Minimum of three visits are required to get the medicines issued. Each visit costing Rs 100 on auto rickshaw. No body shows concerned rather all feel that they are obliging the patients. How does the Health Ministry justify having one dispensary for whole of Dwarka where maximum senior citizens reside? How the Director CGHS expect the cancer patients to stand for three hours for finally reaching the pharmacy counter. Through this forum I appeal to a senior officer to come once as a general citizen and line up everywhere to get the medicines. Horrible plight in Dwarka wellness centre. Must open a new centre without wasting time in Dwarka. better if a separate counter is opened for cancer patients. Otherwise it would be impossible to visit the centre. Sometimes patients do not reach the doctor if the registration number is after 200.What to do?
