The government has launched the ‘myCGHS’ app for iOS to provide Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries access to electronic health records, information, and resources.

The app facilitates a wide range of services, including booking and cancellation of online appointments, accessing reports from CGHS labs, checking medical reimbursement claim status, and locating nearby wellness centres, empanelled hospitals, labs, and dental units.

The app was launched on Wednesday.

Union Health Secretary Apurva Chandra said the app is an essential leap for CGHS in the realm of healthcare services.
