National Audit Federation.

Sub: – Master Health Check up facilities through CGHS should be made available to all its beneficiaries above the age of 30 yeas.

Sir,

           Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being. Health has always been held as a priceless asset.  Physical fitness is a must for good living. For a good living, we need a healthy body. Only when we have a healthy body we will think good and perform well.

          

           In the present world we are put into various stress and strain. We are exposed to many man-made pollutants. Many people are physically inactive. Health hazards are many.  The trend today is not to wait for sickness and disease to strike and then start treatment, but to try and discover it early, before it shows itself. So is the need for a preventive health check-up, as all we know "prevention is better than cure".

      

           The Master Health Check up plays an important role in preventive medicine. Wherein a physician takes a detailed history and then the patient goes through important test which include blood tests, X-rays, ECG etc. The patient may then refer any of the concerned doctors for further treatment, if the need arises. The status of the patient’s health is explained and preventive and curative steps are immediately undertaken.

           In view of this, our demand is that CGHS should provide Master Health Check up facilities to all its beneficiaries above the age of 30 yeas through dispensaries, Government hospitals and polyclinics and through empanelled private hospitals and diagnostic centers. CGHS should play a pro-active role in providing medical facilities to its beneficiaries by providing preventive health check-up.

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

           Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

P. RAHUL
