The Central Government Pensioners Welfare Association (CGPWA), Jammu, has raised concerns over “inadequate infrastructure” at the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) wellness centres, including two in Jammu and one in the Valley.

In a statement, CGPWA general secretary KB Jandial appealed to the Union and UT health authorities to take note of the emerging situation following the joining of a large number of UT pensioners (retired after October 2019). He said CGPWA president Kuldeep Khoda has already met J&K Health Minister Sakeena Itoo and apprised her of the problems faced by pensioners, including inadequate infrastructure at CGHS facilities.

Jandial also urged the authorities to establish 10 more wellness centres in different districts of J&K by providing accommodation in government medical colleges and district hospitals.
