INTERACTIVE SESSION WITH DIRECTOR HEALTH SERVICES, ESI, PUNJAB AND REPRESENTAT IVES OF EMPANELLED HOSPITALS WITH ESIC.

Mohali Industries Association had organised an

interactive meeting with Director Health Services, ESI,

Punjab and doctors of all empanelled hospitals for SST

and Secondary care of Insured workers, SMO, ESI

Hospital, and SSMC, ESI Chandigarh to discuss the

problems of referral of Insured Persons to Empanelled

hospitals.

Shri Yogesh Sagar, President welcomed Dr.Jagpal Singh

Bassi, Director Health Services, (ESI), Punjab,

Dr.AmanHastir, SMC, ESIC, Chandigarh and

Dr.DarshanSingh, SMO, ESI Hospital Phase VII,

Industrial Area Mohali.

Representatives from Mayo Hospital, Sector 69,

Mohali, Kaushal Hospital, Kharar, Amcare Hospital,

Shri RupinderSachdeva, Chairman Punjab

Committee MIA felicitated Shri Yogesh Sagar,

President MIA for contributing and participating in

the MSME Conclave.

Shri Vivek Kapoor, Vice President, MIA concluded the

meeting by saying that if we cannot send our family

members or children to these ESI hospitals how can we

send our employees/ staff to these hospitals. We treat

our staff as our children. The answer to this problem is

that ESI Hospitals should be upgraded to such a level

that there should be no need for referral of patients to

other private hospitals.

The ESI slogan is

“Kahin bhi Kabhi Bhi “-ESIC

Chinta Se Mukti,

However insured persons always feel themselves

helpless and always running from pillar to post for

getting medical facilities and reimbursement of their

medical bills.

Amar Hospital, Sector 70,Mohali, J.P.Hospital, Cheema

Hospital, Phase IV, Mohali, Grecian Hospital, Sector 69,

Mohali, Sri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Multi Speciality

Hospital, Indus Hospital, IVY Hospital were present in

the meeting.

The meeting was conducted by Shri Anurag Aggarwal,

Former President, MIA.

The meeting was held to discuss regarding referrals

from ESIC for treatment of patient under cashless

category which will enable the insured person to get

immediate medical aid from a hospital which is

empanelled with ESIC.

The ESIC has about 13 lakh beneficiaries who are

entitled to receive healthcare support from the

government run Employees State Insurance

Corporation dispensaries and hospitals all over the

country.

The hospitals are understaffed. There are six ESI

Hospitals and posts of medical officers, pharmacists,

staff nurses, radiographers, laboratory technicians

and auxiliary nurse midwives are lying vacant.

The employee contributes 1.75% of his pay towards ESI

Contribution while employer has to contribute 4.75%

of the employees' salary. Funds are deposited on time

so as to enable the employee to avail medical benefits

from ESIC but the ESI Hospital and dispensary is not

equipped to deal with any emergency.

Empanelled hospital representatives took up the issue

of why the patient (IP) has to take permission from ESI

hospital doctors for referral to empanelled hospitals of

their choice. For primary and secondary treatment the

hospital representatives should be able to deal with IPs

independently with an unconditional referral slip.

The Director Health Services ESI Punjab said at present

he is not in a position to give orders for implementation

of the referrals to various empanelled hospitals by

ESIC.
