Dear Health Minister -

You must have read pathetic tales of pensioners vis a vis CGHS. These grievances have appeared on this site more than dozen times. After attaining age of 60 years and after retired, pensioners are largely undergoing a phase of trauma and depression. As the years pass by their physical strength also gets diminishing. All faculties start working at around 50% or less. By the age of 65 years they are only kind of skeletons. Not only this in some cases they become widowers. And children in most cases have already left them after marriage or otherwise and live in other countries/cities meaning thereby no emotional support at hand.

So devoid of physical strength, continuous fight to remain medically not fit or very fit but only workable they are required to undergo the following ordeal by CGHS

1. Stand in long queues for hours in local CGHS dispensary
2. To Spend money in taxis etc to reach hospitals like Willingdon hospital for referrals.
3. Again stand in Queues for their turn for hours to see the specialists.
4. Again in Queues to take medicines / injections

Health Minister - this is torture?

Kindly now ask Health Ministry to wake up from deep slumber and take care of your pensioners and do the following immediately for pensioners or atleast for pensioners who have attained 65 years of age.

1. Whether OPD or Indoor or all major / minor surgeries / procedures allow them to go to any empanelled hospital of their choice directly, absolutely no need to be got referred / forwarded by local dispensaries.
2. Similarly, all diagnostic/other tests in any empanelled hospital directly without need of being referred to.
3. Most minimal interface with any CGHS outfit
4. All cashless or say reimbursable basis with CGHS card
5. Today with IT technology everything is possible.

Please do it.

Manohar L Chauhan
