BSNL staff to get treatment at DMCH without payment
Ludhiana, January 12 Though the facility of cashless medical treatment was available to BSNL employees earlier as well, the renewal of the agreement was stalled on account of certain technical points. Following detailed negotiations involving officials of the BSNL, the DMCH and the
HDHI, the authorities concerned decided to fast track the renewal of the agreement. “This was done keeping in view the fact that many patients were facing problems as a result of the delay in the agreement,” informed Dr
G.S. Wander, chief cardiologist at the HDHI. “Often patients come to us in a state of acute emergency wherein our only priority is to look after the medical need of the patient. Patients do not suffer on account of administrative requirements, the management of the hospitals decided to renew the agreement,” he added. The BSNL officials, led by Mr S.K. Nigam, General Manager, Ludhiana Telecom District, Mr S.K. Jain, DEP (Administration), and Mr
J.S. Grewal, SDE (General), were equally keen and helpful to ensure that the renewal of the facility was processed as quickly as possible. As such, the agreements with the two hospitals were renewed within three days of the proposal having been received by BSNL, Dr Wander said. As per the agreement, all BSNL employees had to do was to prove their identity when they visited the two hospitals for indoor treatment. All their bills would thereafter be presented directly to their organization by the hospital authorities. Every kind of treatment, including advance and expensive procedures, were covered under the terms of the agreements.
