Instructions on various matters and inter-related aspects are issued from time to time for the guidance of the Medical Officers and the Specialists and updating them with the latest issues pertaining to healthcare and its comprehensive management. With continuous and rapid expansion of this healthcare scheme, the situation has drastically improved especially related to the health issues concerning Governmental Employees included under this scheme. But, at the same time, a number of problems have arisen on account of it. On account of the rapidly expanding staff and manpower, various practices, procedures and instructions to be implemented in regard to the duties and responsibilities of hospital employees are not adhered to in a stringent manner. As a result, there is some laxity in the entire process and deficiency in the healthcare services under the CGHS. Various instructions and orders issued from time to time serve as a Compendium for the guidance of the CGHS staff. |

Posted on: 04/17/2013 Till now MOHFW/CGHS authorities has not clarified regarding loss of 'dependent'status of my wholly dependent daughter in receipt of scholarship for studying in France. Further set back is submission of feedback with option for 'Yes' in reply expected, it fails submission with Message: Submission Failed Following Supply of Invalid Data. For 'No' option in reply expected it is submitted with acknowledgement as "Thank you for providing Feedback...." I trust NIC will correct this snag.

Posted on: 04/17/2013 Complaints and grievances seems to be of no concern to CGHS authorities.My grievance against Dr R K Asthana for not allowing medicines for six months as eligible for CGHS beneficiary visiting foreign country and deleting name as CGHS beneficiary from my card No.6408 at Dispensary no.2, Lucknow. My daughter's name is deleted as she gets scholarship for studying at France. Scholarship is not an income explicitly defined in Income Tax Rule. The CGHS authorities; Honorable Secy and D.G.,Director,Addl Dy Director General, HQ,Joint Director Grievance and Additional Director are tight lipped in spite of my repeated requests. I suppose I have to lodge online registered complaint through DARPG for this trivial issue.My query requires a line to suffice that my daughter is eligible for dependency or not.

Posted on: 04/17/2013 I am a retired central government servant, in CGHS card beneficiaries are 1- self,2-wife and 3-Dependent daughter. My daughter is studying in France under exchange program. She gets scholarship. As per CGHS norm she is entitled to get medicines for six months in one go. Additional Director Dr R K Asthana has not allowed the due prescribed medicines and has also deleted her name as beneficiary. Scholarship is not an income still loss of her dependency status best known to CGHS authorities. They are tight lipped about this in spite of many requests.
