Subject:- Request
for Reforming the Medical Treatment procedures for CGHS Beneficiary`s (both Serving and Retired
employees) in Recognised CGHS Central Government and Private Hospitals and
improving the Health facilities in CGHS Wellness centres and Central Government
Departments/Offices.
Respected Sir,
I wish to bring to your kind attention
the difficulties being faced by the Central Governments Servants (Both Serving
and Retired Employees/ Pensioners) for taking Medical treatment from CGHS
Recognized/ empanelled private Hospitals of their choice.
(1).They
cannot directly approach the CGHS Recognized/ empanelled private Hospitals of
their choice without being first asked to go to a Central Government Hospital
and than after obtaining the necessary
permission from their respective offices can approach the CGHS recognized
Hospital of their choice. In this way the Patient is made to run from one end
to another before he can obtain the necessary Medical Treatment for his
Disease.
And by the time, the Government
servant / Pensioner is successful in obtaining the required permission from his
office to visit any CGHS Recognized/ empanelled private Hospitals of his choice, he is already so exhausted to the
core, that he does not have that extra stamina left to fight the dreaded
disease from which he may be suffering at the time.
Hence, a Cashless Medical Treatment for both Serving Central Government
Servants and Retired Government Servants may be provided to them, so that
they can first visit any CGHS recognized Hospital of their choice and than in
the process he can intimate his office or the CGHS Wellness Centre about the
details of his Medical Treatment for taking future benefits under CGHS.
(2).
Further, I wish to draw your kind attention to the availability of MBBS
doctors, who are posted in all the CGHS Wellness Centres. The doctors are very
few in numbers for imparting medical treatment to the patients who visit these
centres. Without diagnosing the disease, they refer the patients to the Central
Government Hospitals. In this way they have been increasing the rush in these Government
Hospitals. However, with the increasing rush the patients hardly get any proper
Medical Treatment. Even the CMO`s sitting in the CGHS Wellness centres do not
see any patient or rather refuse to see the patients. During the whole day they
sit ideal watching the TV channels. In this way they are doing disservice to the
CGHS patients / beneficiaries who visit the CGHS dispensaries.
Similarly, the Specialist Medical Doctors
who visit the CGHS Wellness centres once a week give their appointments to
patients after Two months.i.e the patients get a chance to meet the Specialist Medical
Doctors in a minimum period of nearly more than Two months. By this time the
patients suffer immensely. This situation needs to be improved by posting
Specialist Doctors in CGHS Wellness centres in the field of Medicine, Heart
Diseases, Orthopedic, Dental and Skin in all the Central Government Health
Scheme Wellness Centres on daily basis in Delhi /
New Delhi Centres and elsewhere in India
on all India
(3).The
quality of Medicines being given to the CGHS beneficiaries are of a bad quality
and the brand of Medicine are being locally manufactured. These medicines do
not give beneficial results to the patients. I hope you will look into the
matter and arrange medicines of good quality to the CGHS beneficiaries.
(4). THE HEALTH OF EMPLOYEES WORKING IN
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS is
fast Deteriorating / Failing over the years and the life style of these
Employees is becoming sedentary in nature. Due to lack of daily exercise ,
these people are developing many diseases such as High Blood pressure, Diabetiies,
increase in weight of the body and many other work related diseases. Due to
this, the health bills are enormously increasing day by day for them. Now-a-days
the Central Government hospitals are over burdened with sick patients. For
these government servants, the use of Stationary cycling /Fitness Centres may
be installed in all Central Government departments and CGHS Wellness Centres on priority basis.
These Fitness Centres may be duly promoted by the Central Government and would
greatly benefit all the Working and Retired Government employees. This project
should be adopted in all the Central Government Departments and all the CGHS
Wellness Centres urgently.
(a). Health Benefits of Cycling
IT IS ‘very surprising that cycling causes the level of control of blood pressure. The more you sweat the more light the feeling of your body will be felt. And one of the most important things is that you risk even people diagnosed with cancer and diabetes.
(b). Health Benefits of Cycling for a Government Servant
• Increased Fitness - Through cycling, you will be able to increase your heart and lung fitness, as well as your strength and stamina.
• Weight Loss - The general population of theIndia
• Stress Reduction - Exercise in general has been shown to decrease anxiety and stress levels, and bicycling is a fun way to exercise. Keeping yourself out of traffic jams will also help in reducing stress.
• Heart Benefits - Studies have shown that regular exercise, such as cycling, lowers your risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes.
• Lowered Risk of Other Health Problems - In addition to heart disease, regular exercise can also help you to avoid other health problems such as non-insulin dependent diabetes, osteo arthritis and osteoporosis. Exercise also relieves symptoms of depression and increases your mental health.
• Increased Life Expectancy - The end result of having better health through cycling is that you will live a longer and happier life!

I hope the Hon`ble Prime Minister
would personally look into the matter and take positive steps in introducing
the Stationary Cycles anf Fitness
Centres concept for gaining Health benefits for all the Central Government
Employees in their departments.
In view of the details mentioned
above, I would be grateful, if you could personally look into the matter and
take urgent necessary positive steps in the matter so that all the Central
Government Servants and Retired Government Employees can benefit from your kind
action in the matter. .
Thanking
you.
