CGHS dispensary at Akurdi

CGHS dispensary at Akurdi



Beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), staying in Pimpri-Chinchwad and adjoining areas, now have a dispensary at Akurdi.



Employees of Central government have been urged to log into the website (cghs.nic.in) to get new identity cards.



For several years, government employees, both serving and retired, had been facing inconvenience as there was no dispensary in Pimpri-Chinchwad area. So they had to travel all the way to Pune city for treatment.



According to CGHS, of the 30,000 card holders in the district, about 50 per cent stay in Pimpri-Chinchwad. The proposal was under consideration since last two years. The new centre at Akurdi is convenient as it is near the railway station and is also well connected by bus.



The areas to be covered under the new dispensary include Akurdi, Chinchwad, Punawale, Rupinagar, Nigdi, Ravet, Dehu Road and Shelarwadi.
