Visit to RSBY help desk counter at Diamond Harbour District hospital

RSBY in Government hospitals in West Bengal: There were only 25 Government hospitals under RSBY enlisted to extend cashless indoor treatment services till September 2013. Now, 747 hospitals are enlisted including 127 government hospitals. There are plans to cover all Hospitals up to Block by March 2015.
Rogi Sahayata Kendra, RSK with five Rogi Sahayaks in Government hospitals are very helpful to facilitate admission and free cashless treatment. Diamond Harbour hospital earns Rs 12 lakhs from Insurance Companies by doing RSBY in last 7 months. This amount is adequate enough to take care of RKS expenditure. Happy to interact with RSKs.
Total Rs 15 Crores earned by Government hospitals in last 7 months as against only Rs 2 Crores last year. Private hospitals earned Rs 150 Crores. Hope the proportionate share of Government hospitals is doubled by end of current financial year.
