The BJP on Friday promised to provide health insurance policy for 1.75 crore Delhi residents for a sum of `6 per day if the party is voted to power.
BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Harshvardhan promised that the BJP-led Government would provide most comprehensive and user-friendly health insurance policy for the people.
Harshvardhan said that for a nominal sum of `6 per day, every Delhi citizen would be insured for unlimited access to the state government’s health plan. There is no need to carry ‘Health Cards’ because that would require a huge bureaucracy.
Instead, online registration would be used to provide registration number which would be good enough for each citizen to be enrolled. Online payment of premium would be possible, he said.
The policy would be provided for unlimited number of check-ups for any condition in government hospitals. If the government hospitals fail to deliver satisfactory services on any given day, citizens would be provided vouchers to visit private hospitals or clinics.
This step will factor in accountability for hospital administrators, the party statement said.
Mobile clinics for each of Delhi colonies, whether authorised or not, will be deployed. In large colonies more than one would be deployed.
These mobile clinics would provide all sorts of Medicare -- from checking blood pressure to carrying out blood tests; from treating minor ailments to providing oxygen or first aid.
Neonatal services to be provided by exclusive mobile clinics.
All services would be completely free and reports of indifference on the part of staff would be treated very seriously by health regulator, the BJP leader said.
All the citizens to be entitled to at least one complete health check up every six months, a regulator to ensure that the latest technology and know how is available, out-patient treatment facilities to be doubled in every government hospitals.
A large number of doctors and interns will be employed, Harshvardhan said.
The BJP on Friday also said that the oversight of the delivery system of the sprawling health infrastructure and especially the easy accessibility of the insurance scheme will source to a Regulatory Commission.
