What is Rs 300 today? Just to visit a med specialist once, cost Rs 300. Medicine and subsequent visit will cost hundreds. With today,s cost of living,pensioners not covered by ECSH should be paid minimum Rs 1000 per month as med allowance.
no orders for exservicemen up to now,is the dept of exsw is sleeping
no orders till november after 6 months.dept of esm is more interested in adarsh,why not iesm bog spot tke it up ?
If ECHS facility is not avaied due the distance between place of residence and service provider even one obtaied the membership and services not at all availed. CGHS members are receiving FMA if above condition prevail.
