Physiotherapy facilities in CGHS wellness centres
The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) provides beneficiaries with access to physiotherapy services through empanelled private health care organizations, ensuring comprehensive healthcare options. As per the guidelines outlined in the Ministry’s Office Memorandum No. S-11011/24/2011-CGHS(P) dated June 1, 2011, CGHS beneficiaries are also entitled to home-based (domiciliary) physiotherapy services. This provision is particularly beneficial for those who may have mobility issues or prefer receiving care in the comfort of their homes.
In addition to private facilities, physiotherapy services can be availed at any public health facility under the government, offering a wide range of options for beneficiaries. For more detailed information and access to the official memorandum, beneficiaries can visit the CGHS website at cghs.gov.in. This initiative underscores the commitment of the CGHS to provide accessible and quality healthcare services to its members, catering to their diverse needs.
