Abohar/Sriganganagar, May 17

While complaints suggested that many private hospitals and labs were fleecing Covid patients in different states, Rajasthan CM’s Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme is proving to be a boon for the patients at Covid centre that was recently set up at the Jan Sewa Hospital in Sriganganagar, 40 km from Abohar.

In the Bikaner division, a maximum number of Covid patients were being given the benefit of the scheme in this hospital. According to Dr Mohit Tantia, director of the hospital, the scheme had ensured full benefits to eligible patients. Chief Administrative Officer Baljit Singh Kuldiya said a separate help desk had been set up for the convenience of patients and their families and counters were installed to give information on the availability of beds under the scheme.

Free treatment of Covid-19 is given to patients according to the prescribed package and procedure. If due to emergency a family is unable to submit the prescribed documents, 15 hours relaxation is provided to ascertain the eligibility under the scheme. — OC
