P.Wilson MP SPECIAL MENTION Made in Parliament on problems in CGHS                         

This is with regards to the pressing problems of Central Government Health Scheme and its lakhs of beneficiaries which include Central Government employees, Central Armed Police forces, railway & pensioners as detailed below:–

1. There are only 2014 empanelled Hospitals/Diagnostic centres under the CGHS schemes across the country with only 49 hospitals/centres for TamilNadu which are understaffed & located in remote areas.
2. Even in populated cities such as Chennai, there is no reputable or multi-specialty hospitals in the CGHS-approved list of
3. Beneficiaries have to travel considerable distances for procedures & to obtain blood tests, x-rays, or scans, posing logistical and cost obstacles.
4. The eligible reimbursement limit under CGHS scheme is very meagre compared to cost of treatment thereby impeding employees to get effective treatment while approaching these hospitals.
5. Only few CGHS units practise alternative medical systems like Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani.
6. There are no experts at CGHS, and staff members perform just reference work.
7. Delays in reimbursing recipients is one of the most often lodged grievances.
8. Clinics are only open a few days a week for a few hours and are closed on national holidays making them inaccessible when it comes to emergencies.

Since many hospitals are tied with insurance companies, I request the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and  Ministry of personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Departments to immediately consider linking CGHS with private medical insurance coverages for better medical treatment for CGHS beneficiaries and save their life, health and families.
