Strongly condemning the move to withdraw the super-speciality treatment facility to ESI beneficiares, the ESI Beneficiaries Welfare Committee (Mysuru Division) has urged the Union Government to continue the facility.
In a press release, the Committee said that crores of workers employed in factories, shops, business and commercial establishments, etc., were covered under ESI, the State-run healthcare provider. But the Central Government, as a new policy, effective from Jan. 1, 2017, has decided to grant super-speciality treatment facility only after two years of enrolment.
