I just came across the efforts towards right to health. They inform that if family income from all sources is upto 4000/-per month, all members of such family are eligible for free treatment at any hospital - private and government. No document or documentary proof is needed. Any such patient can just walk into the hospital and ask for treatement under EWS category. Such patient or his or her near relative has to give a declaration of income on a form which hospital would provide. Apart from that there is no other formality. If you or any body else need my help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Mr. Ashok Agarwal on his mobile no. +91-9811101923 who is a member of the monitoring team. Every such private hospital has a EWS Nodal Officer which can be enquired from the reception. Hospitals are also required to have EWS Desk at the reception.

Hope this will be useful and the poor get their right to free health.
All the best
