The Minister of Health
and Family Welfare clarified in the Parliament pertaining to the issue
of opening time of CGHS dispensaries…
The opening time of CGHS
dispensaries in Delhi & NCR has been changed to 9.00 AM except in
case of six dispensaries which are working for 24 hours a day. Working
hours of CGHS dispensaries have been revised with a view to ensure
optimum utilization of scarce manpower resources of CGHS to improve the
functioning of CGHS and also the satisfaction level of CGHS
beneficiaries. Doctors can now devote more time towards patient care
with extended working hours of 9.00 AM to 4.00 PM. It will also help
Administration in implementing rotational transfer policy in CGHS.
The working hours of
CGHS dispensaries have been revised keeping in view the larger interest
of CGHS beneficiaries including serving employees and pensioners. With
the computerization of all CGHS dispensaries and universal application
and portability of CGHS cards, one can easily avail the CGHS facilities
from any CGHS dispensary/First Aid Post near to his residence or place
of work as per his/her convenience and there is no compulsion to go to
his parent dispensary for medical consultation and medicines. The
revised working hours will provide longer effective working hours for
availing the facilities. They can access CGHS dispensary even during the
lunch hours.
