expenses of babus’ medical treatment abroad, airfare
NEW DELHI: Bureaucrats
and their dependent family members can now get medical treatment abroad at the
state expense, and also get the airfare reimbursed under government’s new
rules.
This comes at a time when
the government is facing flak over the ailing economy.
A member of All India
Services can also be airlifted outside the state in case of a medical
emergency, the new rules by ministry of personnel said.
“A member of service
shall be eligible to obtain medical treatment outside India or, as the case may
be, to claim reimbursement of the cost of the treatment obtained inside or
outside India,” the ministry said.
Earlier, All India
Services officer were not allowed to reimburse the cost of medical treatment
abroad.
An IAS, IPS and IFoS officer can now avail the same, not only for
himself but also for a family member for cardio-vascular surgery, bone marrow
transplant and other complex medical and oncological disorders, including
leukaemia.
