[New Delhi]Center Not Mulling to Extend CGHS Network
CGHS Has 361 Dispensaries But no Regional Office
The Health Minister, J P Nadda in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha stated
: (i) In an existing CGHS city:- For opening of a new Allopathic CGHS dispensary in an existing CGHS city, there has to be a minimum of 2000 Card holders (serving employees of Central Government and Central Civil pensioners).
(ii) Extension of CGHS to a new City:- For extension of CGHS to a new city, there has to be a minimum of 6,000 Card holders.
As the resources under CGHS are fully committed, it is not possible at present to extend CGHS network to areas that are presently not covered even with the existing criteria.
