MURALI SOMAYAJULA says
THANKS FOR THIS LATEST NEWS. IT IS VERY HELPFUL. IN THE CGHS WELLNESS CENTERS, I FEEL THE HONOURABLE MINISTER HAS FORGOTTEN TO INCLUDE THE NEW STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AND ITS CAPITAL IS GETTING REDIED IN WARANGAL NEAR VIJAYAWADA.
AS PER CENTRAL GOVERNMENT POLICY, EACH STATE SHOULD HAVE ONE CGHS HOSPITAL IN THEIR CAPITAL. HENCE THE MINISTRY OF HEALT MAY KINDLY BE ADDRESSED TO OPEN A CGHS HOSPITAL ON THE SAME LINES AS THAT OF HYDERABAD CAPITAL OF TELENGANA.. THIS MAY BE ESTABLISHED EITHER IN WARANGAL OR IN VISAKHAPATNM (SMART CITY) IN CONSULTATION OF THE CHIEF MINISTER, SHRI CHANDRA BABU NAIDU, WHO WOULD BE PLEASED TO ALLOT A SUITABLE LAND FOR THIS PURPOSE. AS PER THE LATEST ORDERS DATED 17-11-2014, THE HEALTH MINISTER SANCTINED ONE CGHS WELLNESS CENTER/DISPENSARY IN VISAKHAPATNAM AND IS LIKELY TOBE OPENED BY SEPTEMBER, 2016 TO SERVE ALL AP PENSIONERS LIVING IN THE AP STATE WHO ARE LEFT HIGH AND DRY WITHOUT ANY MEDICAL FACILITY.
IN THIS CONNECTION, I REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY TAKEN UP WITH THE MINISTER OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE, SHRI NADDA, TO EMPANEL THE PRIVATE CORPORATE HOSPITALS ALREADY APPROVED BY THE GOVT. OF AP AND ARE TREATING THE STATE GOVT. EMPLOYEES AND PENSIONERS ON CASHLESS BASIS. AS THESE AP GOVT APPROVED HOSPITALS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DEEMED TO BE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS UNDER CCS(MA) RULES, 1944, THEY ARE TREATING THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ALSO ON CGHS RATES, ON CASHLESS BASIS AND GETTING THEIR REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS DIRECT. ONLY SCAPE GOATS ARE THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT PENSIONERS LIVING IN AP OTHER THAN HYDERABAD CITY. AS THE WELLNESS CENTER IS BEING INAGURATED BY SEPTEMBER, 2016, THERE IS NO LEGAL OBJECTION FROM THE CGHS DIRECTORATE TO EMPNEL THESE HOSPITALS UNDER CGHS. ONCE THESE HOSPITALS ARE EMPANELLED BY CGHS, DELHI /HYDRABAD, THE PENSIONERS LIVING IN AP STATE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GET THE INPATIENT TREATMENT FREE OF COST AND CGHS DELHI /HYDERABAD WOULD PAY THEM THEIR HOSPITAL CHARGES DIRECT.
I SINCERELY REQUEST YOU TO KEEP THIS MATTER IN YOUR AGENDA AND DISCUSS THE SAME AND GET THE NOD OF HEALTH MINISTRY AT THE EARLIEST.
THANKING YOU SIR
