Minister Mansukh Mandaviya digitally launched the revamped website on
Monday. “The launch of the revamped CGHS website linked with a mobile
app is an important and timely step towards catering to India’s
increasing digital penetration. The website has several updated features
which shall hugely aid beneficiaries,’’ said the Ministry.
The
Minister said the facility will enable delivery of healthcare services
without venturing out and is an innovative step during the ongoing
pandemic. It is an important and timely step powered by India’s
increasing digital penetration, he said.
He
said the basket of services is enlarged with the revamped website. With
the newly provided feature of tele–consultation, the CGHS beneficiaries
can seek expert advice directly through teleconsultation, he said. With
these improved facilities, the CGHS aims to further increase its
outreach to beneficiaries with ease of providing various facilities.
The
website has been developed in accordance with Guidelines for Indian
Government Websites and has user friendly features including aid for
visually impaired persons like audio play of the text and option to
increase the font size etc.
The
website also has a link to beneficiary login for accessing online
facilities such as tracking of medical claims, grievances, status and
downloading of CGHS card, accessing history of medicines, online
appointment system and various other facilities.
The
CGHS is the nodal healthcare provider to Central government employees,
pensioners and certain other categories of beneficiaries and their
dependents enrolled under the scheme.
