Number of appeals regarding CGHS beneficiaries pensioners plight and sufferings have been made to Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Minister of H&FW but all remain unattended and un-noticed. Pensioners are worst sufferers to get right treatment in Government hospitals. There is no point of repeating the problems being faced by CGHS beneficiaries.
Two submissions to Minister for H&FW:
1. Direct consultation in private empanelled hospitals above age of 65 years as a trial before permitting all.
2. CGHS tariff from CGHS beneficiaries with or without permission. No discrimination as long as there is valid CGHS card.
As in medical profession, before launching a medical product, clinical trial goes for some period. depending on the result,the decision is taken about the launch of medicine. Similarly direct consultation in private empanelled hospitals for the age group above 65 years may be permitted. Medicines will continue to be issued by respective dispensaries. Please consider the request favorably.
