What about CGHS beneficiaries above 75 years, who live in another town far away from their Wellness Centre? Due to this I have not been able to avail any benefit from CGHS at all, leave alone Annual Health Check up. Govt should provide facilities to ensure old pensioners do not have to travel far to avail CGHS facilities. Please send me by email, a solution to my problem. Thanks

What does it mean primary card holders ? Whether only pensioner and not his/ her spouse ?
