A proposal in this regard has been moved by the state finance department to include the treatment in the said rules, the minister said.
He said the inclusion of IVF will be beneficial for the women employees as the expenses for this treatment in select hospitals will be covered under rules.
The minister said the inclusion of IVF in the Medical Attendance-cum-Allowance rules was the long pending demand of the employees.
Bukhari said the present dispensation is committed to redressing the grievances of the government employees and all possible measures are being taken in this regard.
