Naturopathy treatment facilities are not available in the CGHS Wellness Centres at Delhi/NCR and Mumbai. However, one private hospital namely Bapu Nature Cure Hosptial and Yogashram, Mayur Vihar, Delhi is empanelled under CGHS Delhi/NCR for Naturopathy indoor treatment facilities including consultation.
Beneficiaries normally take treatment for Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis and Obesity at the empanelled hospital.
As per the existing guidelines, CGHS beneficiaries may directly obtain consultation / treatment from empanelled hospitals for Naturopathy & Yoga and would be eligible for reimbursement subject to prior intimation to their respective Ministries / Departments in respect of serving CGHS beneficiaries and to the concerned ADs/JDs of CGHS cities in respect of pensioner beneficiaries. Therefore, it is not possible to specify the number of patients, who had taken treatment at these hospitals.
