Those who are already CGHS users will have to change their password after logging in to the new site. This will keep your account more secure.
4. Medical machines will now get quick approval
Now patients will not have to wait long for essential machines like oxygen concentrator, CPAP or BiPAP. Earlier all these approvals were obtained offline and took weeks, but now everything will be online and permission will also be given quickly.

You applied for something or it got approved or the payment was made. You will now get every update through SMS and email. This will eliminate the need to go to the office again and again.
