MP Writes to Defence Minister on ECHS Healthcare Delays

MP Writes to Defence Minister on ECHS Healthcare Delays

Imagine a healthcare program for veterans called ECHS.

Hospitals are supposed to provide care, but they're not getting paid on time.

A Member of Parliament, Captain Brijesh Chowta, is worried about this.

He wrote a letter to the Defence Minister, asking for help.

The MP wants the government to pay hospitals faster, like within a month.

This would encourage more hospitals to participate and help veterans get better healthcare.

If hospitals get paid quickly, they will be happier to join and offer services.
