The Railway Board has announced financial assistance for its employees for critical illnesses. The board will cover the expenses for lung and heart transplants. For lung transplants, the board will cover ₹25 lakh, ₹15 lakh for heart transplants, and ₹35 lakh for both. Employees must meet certain conditions to avail of... this assistance. This facility was already available, but the board has increased the amount due to changes in medical infrastructure and rising treatment costs. A standing committee will be formed in each zone, comprising senior medical professionals to review cases. The expenditure will be sanctioned by the zonal railway, eliminating the need for Railway Board approval. This will enable faster access to treatment for employees. Previously, employees had to wait for approval from the Railway Board after recommendations from the division and zone, causing delays. The Railway provides financial aid for other serious illnesses like liver transplants. Railway employees also receive free treatment at empanelled hospitals through the Ummeed Card.

Railway Board ne apne employees ke liye health ke field mein relief ki ghoshna ki hai. Rail employees ki ati gambhir beemariyon jaise lungs aur heart transplant ke liye fixed amount ko bear karne ki ghoshna ki hai. Railway se related modern aur advanced hospitals mein ilaaj karane wale employees ko... lungs transplant ke liye 25 lakh, heart transplant ke liye 15 lakh aur lungs aur heart (dono) ke transplant ke liye 35 lakh rupees dene ki ghoshna ki gayi hai. Is sambhandh mein, Railway Board ki taraf se employees ke liye conditions bhi hain. In conditions ko pura karne ke baad hi, transplant ke patients hospitals mein ilaaj ke liye ye amount pa sakte hain. Yah facility pehle se thi, lekin ab medical infrastructure mein badlav aur ilaaj ke badhte kharch ko dekhte hue, Railway Board ne is amount mein vriddhi ki hai. Board dwara aise patients ke ilaaj ke liye har zone mein ek standing committee banegi, jisme zonal hospital ke PCMD/MD aur Public Unit hospital ke PCMO, Chairperson aur committee ke members mein physician, surgeon, aur anesthesiologist bhi honge. Is tarah ke cases ya pidit employees ke ilaaj ke liye committee dwara sthiti ke anusar iski samiksha ki jayegi aur ilaaj ki swikriti milne par pidit employees ya patients ka ilaaj kiya ja sakta hai. Zonal Railway se hi kharch jari hoga, Board ki manzoori ki zaroorat nahi. Dakshin Poorva Railway Zone ke railkarmio ko heart aur lungs transplant ke liye ilaaj ka kharch Garden Reach se hi mil jayega. Ab Railway Board se anumati ka intezar nahi karna padega. National Federation of Indian Railway ki maang par, Railway Board ne char din pehle ye order jari kiya hai. Is decision se employees ko time par ilaaj mil sakega aur lamba intezar nahi karna padega, jaise ki pehle hota tha.
