AIIMS Deoghar Empanelled With ECHS to Benefit 1.2 Lakh Veterans

A big hospital called AIIMS Deoghar has joined a special health program for people who used to serve in the army.

This program is called ECHS, which stands for Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme.

It helps former soldiers and their families get medical care.

Because of this new agreement, about 1.2 lakh veterans and their family members in Jharkhand can get treatment without paying cash.

The treatment will be paid for through the special health scheme.

Leaders from the hospital and the army came together for a ceremony to sign the agreement.

One general said this is an important step to help people who served the country.

Families will no longer need to travel far away to big cities for good hospital care.

This means better and easier healthcare for people who protected the nation.
