IESM: ECHS Improvement Suggestions Needed ASAP
ECHS has become more or less a punishment for the veterans who are ailing. When it was sanctioned authorities visualised to provide its members client friendly services. It has now changed its motto and become a troublesome service in which veterans atre told to visit this and that hospitals and finally to some superior serice medical officers say consultant in medicine, surgery, ent etc and finally to get a strong NO or NOT ENTITLED. I am heading an association and a member wanted his child to be implanted a cochleor. The child and her parents run from pillare to post and finally was told that only 50 per cent of the transplant will be refunded by the government. When the scheme was sanctioned it was told that the present and past ailment of the members will be treated free. T have referred the matter to Station HQ Kannur with copy to the OIC Regional Centre Kochi and The MD ECHS Delhi. No reply has been received. Could siome body help the poor parents?
