 MEETING WITH CGHS INSPECTION TEAM

Dear Comrades,Good Afternoon. A team of doctors from the O/o Director CGHS Health Ministry New Delhi came to Chennai to have a surprise inspection of the wellness Centres located at Chennai. Information received by Com.V.Ramarao Circle President by 1030 hrs that they are at Guindy and will be visiting Meenambakkam next. Sri.V.Ramarao and Sri.Nagaraj Retd Defence Accounts are the committee members of Meenambakkam Welness centre. Sri.Ramarao asked me to accompany. One Dr.Pramod kumar from Delhi accompanied by one of the office bearers of Federation of Central Government Pensioners visited the wellness centre Meenambakkam. .He enquired us about the functioning of wellness centre and any improvement to be done. Enquired the patients about the problems come across by them. We submitted the copy of memorandum earlier given to Addl Director CGHS Chennai by AIBSNLPWA TN CIRCLE. Wherein We insisted the requirement  of enrolement of more Private Hospitals in Chennai. We also insisted for setting up of Wellness centre at Tambaram. We insisted for the revision of rate as the present rate is as per the MOU approved during 2014. One of the patient expressed his view that only opthalmologist at KK Nagar directly refers to Private Hospital. Other specialist after diagnosis, they refer to registered wellness centre. Either referal to Private Hospital, or to get medicines we have to come back to wellness centre. If the medicines are not available, to get the medicine waiting period is of 5days. We told instead of refering back to regd. wellness Centre,KK Nagar Main wellness centre can give direction for referral or supply medicine.Thereby the delay and unnecessary travel  to Pensioners can be avoided. He noted all our points and left  to other station.  ,,,,,V.Ramarao CP   TN
