Telangana Launches New Cashless Health Scheme for Government Staff
Telangana has started a new health program for government workers.
Pensioners and their families who qualify can also use it.
The program is called the Employees’ Health Scheme.
It allows eligible people to receive treatment without paying cash at the hospital.
