Swasthya Sathi is a package based health protection scheme where a family can avail secondary and tertiary care, cashless treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh per annum, from any of the empanelled hospitals in West Bengal.

State Government has later extended the cashless Swasthya Sathi Service at Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore since 17th October 2020.

It has been under active consideration of the department to streamline the utilisation of  service of Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore. Now after careful consideration, it has been decided that:

1. Only Critical cases, treatment for which is not available in that state, will be allowed at Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore under Swasthya Sathi Scheme with prior approval.

2. No case will be entertained for treatment in Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore unless it is referred by a medical practitioner and pre-approved and allowed by the experts at the State Nodal Agency.

This has approval of the competent authority and it takes immediate effect and until further order.
