Indian Railways has made an important change in the health care policy for its employees, pensioners and their dependents. Railways is going to improve the government treatment facility for its employees. Railway employees will get treatment directly in hospitals like AIIMS and PGI by showing a card of Rs 100. A UMID card will be issued for the employees. Let us know the special things about this scheme of Railways.
Railways will issue UMID card
Railways will issue Unique Medical Identification (UMID) cards to all its employees, their dependents and pensioners through which they will be able to get free treatment in hospitals included in the railway panel and all All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the country. Railways will make this card for its employees for Rs 100. This card can also be used for emergency or general treatment.
More than 37 lakh people benefited
This new system of railways will benefit about 12.5 lakh employees, more than 15 lakh pensioners and about 10 lakh dependents. Railways has said that through this card, employees, pensioners or dependents will be able to get treatment in any hospital or diagnostic center included in the panel of railways. If a railway employee does not have a UMID card, then his UMID number will also be valid for treatment.
Railways gave order to issue card
Railways has said that under special circumstances, referrals will be issued to some hospitals, which will be valid for a period of 30 days. Railway Board Executive Director Transformation Pranav Kumar Malik has ordered the issuance of Unique Medical Identification (UMID) cards.
