Caring for cops
New Indian ExpressPUNJAB: The Punjab Armed Police has recently entered into a formal arrangement with hospitals across the state to provide discounted health facilities to its personnel and their families. Under this initiative, patients receive treatment at multi-specialty hospitals at much lower rates, while the government saves money on medical reimbursement claims, and hospitals benefit from a steady flow of dedicated patients. In addition, the wards of police personnel are now being offered discounted civil services coaching – with special concessions for children of martyrs. Under this scheme, police personnel and their dependents can access all facilities, including diagnostics, at Central Government Health Scheme rates, which are nearly 50 percent lower than normal fees.
