CHAPTER – 3
1. UNIFORM TO ALL CGHS EMPLOYEES:
The CGHS establishment is a peculiar type of
organization comprising of medical, paramedical,
scientific and all other employees who have to remain
always alert during the time of their duty and they have
to handle different type of patients and their relatives.
Wearing of uniform easily identifies the staff and avoids
the spread of infection.
Presently the uniform are purchased from the
Government owned companies such as Lidkar, NTC, ETC
etc, their rates are not realistic and these companies
have also stopping the supply of these items. The rates
of uniform are not revised from many years.
So this association suggests in lieu of uniform,
uniform allowance should be given annually to all
the staff in lump sum at par with the Staff Nurses.
2. PATIENT CARE ALLOWANCE
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
constituted a committee of the Medical Superintendents
of various Hospitals, which recommended that Risk
Allowance and Night Weightage Allowance being paid to
the Health staff at that time may be merged. Not only
this, the Committee had further recommended that
health staff need additional support to take care of
C.G.H.S
6
preventive and nutritional needs as they are exposed to a
highly infectious environment loaded with highly virulent
and drug resistant bacteria.
The recommendations of the committee were
accepted by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and
forwarded with their approval. After approval of the
cabinet, HPCA/PCA was sanctioned wef 1.4.1987.
Presently HPCA/PCA is being paid as follows:
VIth CPC revised
rate from
1.9.2008
25%
increase from
1.1.2011
25%
increase from
1.1.2014
HPCA 1400 1750 2100
PCA 1380 1725 2070
This associations suggests HPCA/PCA to be paid at
par with Nursing Allowance.
3. WASHING ALLOWANCE
At present the CGHS employees are getting meager
amount of Rs.180/- as washing allowance which is very
insufficient. In view of the prevailing high prices of
detergents, soaps and other washing materials including
ironing of uniforms, the government has not providing
hospital services to the patients its employees have to keep
their uniforms properly neat and clean to on avoid the danger
of gross infection and as such they have to spend heavily on
washing of their uniforms. In view of above this association
suggests that washing allowance should be paid at par
with the washing allowance paid to Staff Nurses.
C.G.H.S
7
4. NURSING/WASHING/UNIFORM ALLOWANCE TO NURSING
STAFF.
Nursing allowance, washing allowance and uniform
allowance are being paid to the Nursing staff because Nursing
is an independent profession and has its own identity.
In view of this it is demanded that the
provision of Nursing allowance/ washing
allowance/uniform allowance to all the Nursing staff
irrespective of their status and nature of job, should be
enhanced to double from the present rate.

CHAPTER – 5
PROMOTIONS.
Like other departments CGHS has no promotional
channel for the staff, LDC, Staff Nurse, Pharmacists, Lab.
Technician, Dressers, etc join in these posts and after
rendering more than 30 years of service, retire on the same
posts. It is very unfortunate and disgraceful; the employees are
deprived off the right for promotion due to the government’s
old and saturated policies. Now it is high time all these policies
should be made more attractive. The problem of promotion
should be taken up seriously in the 7th Pay Commission.
Whenever DA is announced, it is uniformly applicable to all the
employees, then why promotion to Central government
employees should not be uniform?
In CGHS itself there is a disparity between the staff
and the doctors.
The Officers and staff of CGHS are classified into four
categories as follows:
Group A - This category consists of all the Medical Officers. Group B - The Administrative Officers, Accounts Officers,
Asst Accounts Officers & Asst Depot Managers
Group C - Pharmacists, Staff Nurse, Laboratory staff and
Other paramedical staff.
Erstwhile Gr.D - Dressers, Fem. Attdt, Nur. Attendant, Lab
Attendant, etc
C.G.H.S
29
At present only the Group A category ie Medical
Officers are getting time bound promotions as follows:
Entry: : Medical Officer
After 4 years : Senior Medical Officer
After 8 years : Chief Medical Officer
After 12 years : Chief Medical Officer (NFSG)
After 16 years : Sr Chief Medical Officer (S.A.G)
The Group B posts such as, 3 posts of Asstt Depot
Managers are sanctioned in Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad. 1
post of A.N.S is sanctioned in Delhi which is to be filled by
eligible Group C staffs. At present 99% of the Group B posts
are lying vacant.
Like the time bound promotions of Doctors,
AICGHSEA appeal that all the Group C and erstwhile
Group D staff should get 5 time bound promotions.

SOME JUSTIFIED DEMANDS OF CGHS
EMPLOYEES.
1.NON PRACTICING ALLOWANCE
Doctors in CGHS are getting NPA at the rate of 25% of Basic +
Grade pay. Considering the nature of medical duties of Pharmacists,
Staff Nurse, Laboratory Technicians, Dental Technicians, Dental
Hygienists, Operation Theatre Technicians etc in CGHS. These
categories may be permitted to practice privately or else they may
allowed NPA like the doctors.
2.ACADEMIC ALLOWANCE
As the technical posts, to provide best possible health care
services and to keep the latest knowledge of the subject up-to-date,
government should encourage these categories with academic allowance
for purchase of new books, acquire training of the latest order so that
best services be provided to the public health. This association suggests
that 10% of Basic pay + grade pay to be paid to all the technical posts.
3.INCENTIVE FOR ADDITIONAL HIGHER QUALIFICATION All the categories technical and non technical with higher
qualification then their basic qualification should be give an incentive
for additional higher qualification. Officials with additional qualification
will perform better and the output will be far more better.
4.CGHS CONTRIBUTION TO BE WAIVED.
Railways annually provide 6 privilege passes to each of its officers and
four passes to its workers, allowing them to travel anywhere in India.
Like Railways many other departments give benefits, privileges to his
employees.
On the same pattern we demand that CGHS contribution from
CGHS employees should be waived.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BETTERMENT OF
CGHS SCHEME.
EXPANSION OF CGHS IN OTHER CITIES:
At present CGHS is functioning only in major cities.
Beneficiaries especially the pensioners of other cities who have taken
CGHS cards are facing lot of inconvenience to avail the facilities. They
have to travel from one place to another in their old age to get the
medicines. Due to non availability of CGHS in their cities, most of the
pensioners are deprived off the medical facilities. IT IS STRONGLY
SUGGESTTED THAT CGHS WELLNESS CENTRES SHOULD BE
OPENED IN EVERY CITY OF THE COUNTRY.
CGHS OWN SUPER SPECIALITY HOSPITAL
CGHS is functioning in 25 cities, but none of CGHS cities has
its own hospital. Government is incurring crores of rupees on the
treatment of its beneficiaries for Indoor treatment at Private hospitals.
The expenditure can be curtailed to a great extend if CGHS own hospital
is opened in all CGHS cities. Secondly the current procedure for getting
an approval letter from the government hospital even after the
recognized hospital under CGHS has recommended it before the
procedure is also a major hurdle. In most of the cities government
hospitals are very few, patients find it extremely difficult to get the letter
from government hospitals. Further The Parliamentary Standing
Committee have also strongly recommended for CGHS own hospital.
IN VIEW OF ABOVE IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT
A SUPER SPECIALTY HOSPITAL ON THE LINE OF RAILWAYS,
DEFENCE ETC SHOULD BE OPENED IN ALL THE CITIES SO THAT
THE BENEFICIARIES CAN AVAIL THE TREATMENT WITHOUT ANY
PROBLEMS.
C.G.H.S
33
CGHS OWN DIAGNOSTIC CENTRES:
In most of the CGHS cities there are no diagnostic centres of
CGHS. Patients are referred to private hospitals. The diagnostic centre,
Laboratories and other attached facilities should be made available
under one umbrella so that patients need not have to run from pillar to
post to avail of the treatment.
IN SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAMME:
The knowledge and skills of paramedical staff need to be
improved along with new researches being carried out in the medical
field. For this purpose periodical in-service training programmes from
time to time is very essential for the paramedical staff and Doctors in
CGHS. This would enhance the quality of the service being rendered to
the CGHS patients.
MEDICAL SERVICE NOT TO BE OUTSOURCED:
Medical service should not be out sourced. With outsourcing
on one side the government may save some amount but on the hand it
would only result in more corruption. Therefore it is strongly suggested
that Regular Doctors and regular staff members should be appointed for
better services to the patients and to avoid corruption at all level.
VACANT POSTS TO BE FILLED IMMEDIATELY:
Almost 30% sanctioned posts in CGHS is lying vacant. Due to
this the functioning of the dispensary is very badly affected. Vacancy of
posts is putting lot of pressure on the existing staff. One can witness
long queues at the dispensing and other counters in all the dispensaries.
We suggest that all sanctioned posts promotional or direct should be
filled up immediately for the smooth functioning of the wellness centres
of CGHS throughout the country.
C.G.H.S
34
PROCUREMENT OF MEDICINES IN CGHS.
In CGHS medicines are procured through Government Medical
Store, Bulk purchase through Pilot project, Local Chemists etc.
Although in the existing system medicines are available at the counter
but the government is paying more. CGHS can purchase these
medicines in bulk from reputed Pharmaceutical Companies after quality
check in the generic form and then repack it according to the
organization set up. This would reduce the purchase of medicines
through local purchase and would also control the cost of medicines.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion we fervently believe and also are
confident that the Seventh Pay Commission will analyze
and evaluate the duties, skill and responsibilities of the
entire paramedical and clerical cadre in CGHS and
prescribe suitable pay scales beside allowances and
concessions.
