Criteria fixed for setting up a Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) dispensary
The below information is tabled to a question in Lok Sabha on 11th
July 2014 by the Minister of Helath and Family Welfare Shri Harsh
Vardhan as follows…
The criteria fixed for setting up a Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) dispensary in a particular area are as under:-
(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. However, due to financial and other resource constraints it is not always possible to adhere to the above criteria.
(b): The details about number of CGHS allopathic/AYUSH dispensaries and Hospitals in the country, State/UT-wise are at Annexure.
Keeping in view the financial and other resource constraints, a
decision has been taken not to expand CGHS to cover new cities/ areas.
There are some States and UTs which do not have the presence of CGHS as
yet. Accordingly, the Ministry has mooted a proposal to open at least
one CGHS dispensary in the capital city of such States/UT’s namely,
Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura,
Manipur, Mizoram, Sikkim, Nagaland, Gujarat and Pudduchery.
In addition, there is also a proposal to open one CGHS dispensary in Indore in compliance of the High Court’s directions.
