The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) was started under the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 1954 with the objective of providing comprehensive medical care facilities to Central Government employees, pensioners and their dependents residing in CGHS covered cities. This health scheme is now in operation with cities such as Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Chandigarh and Bangalore. The dispensary is the backbone of the Scheme. Instructions on these various matters have been issued from, time to time for the guidance of the specialists and medical Officers.
