The Chief Secretary has directed all district officials to expedite the registration of hospitals under the PM Rahat scheme, a government initiative designed to provide financial assistance and support to healthcare institutions. The instruction comes as part of efforts to strengthen the implementation of the centrally-sponsored program across the state's medical infrastructure.
District administrators have been tasked with identifying eligible hospitals and completing the enrollment process within a specified timeframe. The scheme aims to ensure broader participation of healthcare facilities, including government and private hospitals, to enhance service delivery and institutional preparedness.
The move is expected to streamline the process of institutional support and enable hospitals to access benefits under the program more efficiently. Officials have been advised to coordinate with hospital management authorities and remove administrative bottlenecks that may hinder enrollment.
The directive underscores the government's commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure across districts and ensuring comprehensive coverage of medical facilities under centrally-sponsored schemes. District administrations are required to submit progress reports regularly to track enrollment status and identify areas requiring additional intervention.
