Jaipur, April 22. Chief Minister Mr Ashok Gehlot said that the State Government has started an ambitious scheme like Mukhyamantri Nishulk Nirogi Rajasthan scheme with a view to provide better health services to the people of the State and keep them free from the worry of treatment expenses.
A dry run of the scheme is being carried
out from April 1 in the State. Officers should ensure effective implementation
of the scheme based on the suggestions of the general public by overcoming the
obstacles and plugging the loopholes found during the dry run so that people
get the full benefit of this scheme.
Mr Gehlot was reviewing the Mukhyamantri Nishulk Nirogi Rajasthan Scheme and the
situation of Covid infection in the State at his official residence on
Thursday. He said that the scheme of providing free treatment to people of the
State in OPD and IPD is being implemented at an extensive level therefore it is
obvious to face obstacles and shortcomings in the beginning. The officers
should ensure that the obstacles in the effective implementation of the scheme
are removed at the earliest. Patients coming for treatment at the
Government Medical Institutions should not face any problem.
The Chief Minister said that patients admitted under this scheme should get free treatment and there should be no problem with regard to medicines etc and effective monitoring should be ensured. A smooth supply of medicines and other equipment should be done from the hospitals attached to the medical colleges to the level of CHC and PHC.
He gave clear directions that there should be no
complaint from any government hospital for taking money from the patient or
writing prescriptions to bring medicines etc from the market. The hospital
administration itself should make arrangement for medicines etc. Patients
should not go out for medicines. He said that strict action will be taken against
lapkas or drug agents.
Mr Gehlot said that the scheme of free treatment in IPD and OPD is the flagship
scheme of the State Government. The scheme should be given wide publicity so
that the full benefit of this scheme reaches up to rural areas.
