the Government has amended the terms and conditions for empanelment of private hospital under the Central Government Health
Scheme (CGHS). Now, the hospitals are empanelled as a whole, meaning that all
facilities available in the hospital would be provided to CGHS beneficiaries. Disease – specific empanelment has now been

from the CGHS list, that can be resorted to in appropriate cases.
