Kahin Bhi-Kabhi Bhi medical service launched by ESIC

Now, insured persons and their family members of Delhi need not visit ESIC hospitals for minor ailments requiring only day care like diarrhoea, high fever, acute asthama attacks, abdominal pain, chest pain and the like.

Besides, in future, day care centres will be developed at three more ESIC dispensaries in Delhi with high OPD attendance in Nandnagari, Mangolpuri and Jwalapuri that will cover all zones of Delhi.

The minister further told the gathering that ESIC has decided to open 6-bedded day care centres at various ESI dispensaries all over the country.

These centres will become a complete unit in themselves with medical facilities. To further improve the medical services for patients from the working class, facilities like dental care, physiotherapy, X-ray plant on PPP model, mother and child tracking and courier services to deliver medicine at the doorstep of the insured will also be provided.

All 4 ESIC Hospitals of Delhi at Basaidarapur, Rohini, Okhla and Jhilmil will also be converted into super specialty hospitals, it said.

The minister added that ESIC has become one of the largest social security organisations, offering a better and brighter service to all the ESIC beneficiaries.
