Gurugram's Sheetla Mata Medical College to offer subsidised treatment to economically weaker families

Gurugram, Nov 10 (UNI) In a move aimed at making quality healthcare more affordable for residents of Gurugram and surrounding areas, the Haryana Government has decided to extend subsidised treatment facilities at Shri Sheetla Mata Devi Medical College and its 883-bed teaching hospital in Sector 102 to eligible Ayushman Bharat beneficiaries and patients belonging to families with an annual income of less than Rs 5 lakh.
The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in Chandigarh today to review the operational and administrative arrangements of the medical college and its teaching hospital. The proposed provisions are intended to reduce the financial burden of medical treatment on economically weaker families and improve their access to affordable healthcare.
The Chief Minister also directed officials to establish an AMRIT Pharmacy on the hospital premises, enabling patients and their attendants to purchase quality medicines at affordable prices. He emphasised that affordable medicines should be an integral part of accessible healthcare and that patients should not face additional financial hardship when procuring prescribed drugs.
