Utility News Desk !!! Now the central government has become sensitive towards the injured in road accidents. Because according to the data, every year about 3 to 4 lakh people are injured in road accidents. More than half of them die only because they did not get timely treatment. Therefore, the central government has planned to make the treatment of the injured cashless across the country. It is being told that the Ministry of Road and Transport will also announce this scheme soon. According to the information, initially this facility is being started in some states. But in the next four months this scheme will be launched across the country.
Anurag Jain, Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport, said during a program that “Most of the deaths in India are due to road accidents. The Motor Vehicles Act includes the rule of free and cashless medical treatment. This rule is followed.” It is being done in some states. But now the time has come to implement it across the country. Therefore, we have appealed to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to implement a cashless treatment system across the country, so that the facility of cashless treatment can be started. The sole objective of the government is to reduce accidental deaths.
In fact, the Motor Vehicle Act and the Supreme Court also believe that it is necessary to get the accident victim treated immediately in the nearest hospital. Because if the accident victim gets timely treatment, there is a high possibility of his survival. Therefore, no hospital should demand money at that time. Many times, the treatment of the accident victim is delayed because the hospital does not get payment. By the time the money is arranged, it is too late. So the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways may announce cashless treatment in the next few days… although there has been no official discussion about this. But the Secretary of the Ministry has definitely given indications of this.
