Central Government Health Scheme: The Modi government at the Centre has taken a significant step toward ensuring better healthcare for its employees, pensioners and their family members. Under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), a total of 207 hospitals across Delhi and the surrounding NCR region have been added to the panel. Of these, 190 are multi-specialty hospitals and 17 are super-specialty hospitals.
More Hospitals Mean Better Healthcare Access
Following this decision, central government employees and pensioners will now have far more hospital options to choose from for their treatment. Beneficiaries will be able to seek care at a greater number of hospitals near their homes than before, sparing them the need to travel long distances for treatment. In addition, accessing medical services will become considerably easier for both employees and pensioners.
207 Hospitals Added to the New List
The Central Secretariat Service Forum shared the information on the social media platform X. The forum stated that the move would further improve the availability, choice and quality of the health scheme for central government employees, pensioners and their families. Along with this, the forum also released the full list of the 207 hospitals newly added to the panel.
Big Benefit From Super-Specialty Hospitals Joining
According to the available information, a large number of central government employees and retired officials live in the Delhi and NCR region. Given this, the increase in the number of hospitals will help patients receive better medical care in time. The addition of super-specialty hospitals to the panel, in particular, will now make the treatment of serious and complex illnesses possible as well.
