No reimbursement for government officials and employees who seek treatment at private hospitals
Allahabad: In a judgement that is indeed to have an everlasting impact on the healthcare services in the state, Allahabad high court has directed an order on Friday which states that all government officials and employees who received salary or other financial gains from the government/public exchequer should avail treatment of themselves and their families at government hospitals.
Adding that no one should be given VIP treatment, the court said such government officials and employees who received salary or other financial gains from the government/public exchequer and who get treatment in private hospitals should not be reimbursed for the treatment expenses by the government treasury. However, there will be no constraint on those facilities which are not available at government hospitals, the court added.
