RSBY to be started in all BPHCs, Rural Hospitals in West Bengal, to be supported by RSKs

After successfully launching RSBY in all Secondary hospitals, Health department of West Bengal today decided to provide RSBY services in all BPHCs and Rural Hospitals having more than 10 functional beds. More than 300 hospitals will be enlisted. 

The model of Rogi Kalyan Samity RSK at secondary hospitals have been very successful in all Government hospitals. Decision has been taken today to engage two Rogi Sahayaks in RSK at BPHC and RH out of administrative cost of RSBY. There are 5 Rogi Sahayaks in each Secondary Hospitals and 8 in each Medical College Hospitals extending their support at Patient Help Desk. 

Convergence of RSBY with hospital services will go a long way in the direction of health care support. 

RSBY in West Bengal covered 2.15 lakhs patients in last six months worth Rs 112 Crores settled by Insurance Companies to 727 enlisted hospitals. There were only 521 hospitals when Health Department took over the scheme and 206 hospitals added in one year that includes 120 Government HOSPITALS. Government hospital collected Rs 13 Crores in last six months and gradually increasing its share. 

West Bengal RSBY is committed to provide quality health care and increased claims.
