CGHS centres to treat non-beneficiaries too

The Health Ministry on Sunday directed doctors at various Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) centres in Delhi and NCR to provide primary out-patient services to all patients with symptoms of dengue regardless of whether or not they were scheme beneficiaries. “All doctors at CGHS centres in Delhi and NCR shall provide consultation services and primary out-patient medical care to all citizens – whether CGHS beneficiaries or not – who may visit wellness centres with symptoms of dengue, primarily high fever,” the ministry said.
