SUBJECT: ADVISORY TO HEALTH CARE ORGANISATIONS (HCOs) EMPANELLED UNDER ECHS IN VIEW OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

1. The second wave of COVID 19 Pandemic in the country has thrown a challenge of immeasurable proportions and is claiming thousands of lives everyday. This scourge can be defeated only through collective efforts by all. The Health Care Organisations in the country are at the forefront fighting this menace doing their best to save lives. Entire nation will forever remain grateful to the health care workers and doctors for their tireless toil in saving precious lives.

2. The Ex Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme with a large beneficiary base of elderly and vulnerable Ex Servicemen is heavily dependent on the empanelled hospitals for their health care. In these times of distress the need for medical treatment in the empanelled hospitals has been felt even greater. The Memorandum of Agreement with the empanelled hospitals gives the Ex Servicemen unequivocal right of treatment in the empanelled hospitals. However, It has painfully come to our notice that ECHS beneficiaries, some in very serious COVID condition, are being denied admission in the empaneled hospitals where these beneficiaries go with great hope and confidence of obtaining med treatment.

3. Duly mindful of the pressure on the ECHS empanelled hospitals due to the peculiar circumstances and challenges of these times, it may kindly be noted that necessary measures be taken by the HCOs_ so that the ECHS beneficiaries are not denied the required and rightful medical attention.

Central govt. officials demand work from home amid rising toll due to Coronavirus

 Central govt. officials demand work from home amid rising toll due to Coronavirus

Coronavirus | Central govt. officials demand work from home amid rising toll: The Hindu

Many members of Central Secretariat Service have succumbed to COVID in one month

Around 50 government officials across ministries and departments in the national capital have succumbed to COVID-19 in just the past one month, according to a representation sent by the employees’ to the Centre.

The forum representing the officials of the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) has said at least 30 who died were under 40 years.

Vaccination camps

It demanded that the government organise vaccination camps for all the CSS employees on the lines of front-line workers on a priority.

On May 4, Minister for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh had tweeted that Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) is organising a vaccine camp at North Block.

A CSS official however, said such camps were not enough. “North Block comprises the offices of ministries of finance, home and personnel. It [the camp] is barely enough for them. Many fear going to other government buildings to get the shots; this should be held at every government building,” said the official on condition of anonymity.

The Cabinet Secretariat will be organising a vaccination camp at the President’s House on May 17 for those above 45 years and on May 18 for employees in the 18-45 age group.

On April 19, the DoPT asked all central government offices to reduce the strength of under secretary and equivalent ranks to 50% in office. The deputy secretaries have, however, been asked to report daily.

The order has been extended till May 31. Pregnant women, persons with disability and those who live in containment zones have been exempted.

Families bereaved

“In the age of digital India, why cannot government employees work from home? Hundreds of those who were infected were going to the office daily, many have died, leaving behind young children. We are demanding work from home as it will not impact productivity,” another CSS official said.

On May 6, the CSS forum tweeted: “It is disheartening that GoI [Government of India] has lost 50+ hard working CSS Officers in the span of just one month….We have requested @DoPTGoI on several occasions vide letters dated 27 & 29 April to implement Work From Home (WFH). In view of the dreadful situations in India and it being the World’s worst hit nation, but due to insensitive behaviour, we are losing the precious jewels of our bureaucracy and hard working officers every day. “

CSS officials provide support and continuity of the governmental system in the Central Government Secretariat and their sanctioned strength is around 23,000. According to DoPT, the CSS has been devised primarily to manage the middle level posts in the Central Secretariat, the headquarters of the Union Government, housing the offices of the central ministries and departments in Delhi.
