Schemes

The Central Government Health Scheme was established in 1954 with the goal of providing comprehensive medical care to Central Government employees, both serving and retired, as well as their dependent family members. Members and former members of parliament, Supreme Court and High Court judges, freedom fighters, former Governors, and former Vice-Presidents of India are also served under the scheme. 

Health is a Fundamental Human Right. Health insurance coverage must be affordable and easily accessible. Medical care is accessible and affordable to those with higher incomes; however, medical care is not accessible or affordable to those living in poverty. The Central Government launched national health insurance schemes to provide healthcare support to all Indian citizens from private sectors, government employees, and people living below the poverty line, such as cobblers, fishermen, and others.

Governments all over the world strive to provide high-quality healthcare to their citizens. The authorities’ productive activities for the welfare of the people include raising awareness about health issues, ensuring a strong infrastructure, and promoting health insurance.
