Central Government Health Scheme CGHS Holiday List 2023

CGHS Holiday List 2023: The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) is a healthcare cashless scheme designed to cater to the medical needs of serving or retired Central Government employees and their dependents. It first came into existence in Delhi in 1954 with the primary objective of providing reimbursement for OPD medicines to Central Government employees who faced challenges in getting such benefits. However, with time, the scheme expanded to include dispensaries that offer OPD medicines as well. At the time of its inception, the scarcity of private hospitals was another reason for starting this scheme, which was not initially intended to have a pan-India reach. Over the years, this program has expanded to cover 25 cities across India, which has put a considerable burden on the limited resources available for the scheme’s implementation.
