Phased Programme for Implementation of ESI Scheme for the year 2015-2016 (Revised) and 2016-2017

Posted by & filed under Esic-Circulars.

The ESI Scheme is being implemented area-wise in a phased manner. As per
the provisions of ESI Act, the administration of medical care rests with the concerned State Governments. Accordingly, a phased programme for implementing the scheme is formulated every year in consultation with the State Govts., Directors of Medical Services and the Regional Directors of ESI Corporation. As per practice, this year also, proposals for preparation of phased programme for the year 2015-2016 (Revised) and 2016-2017 were called for from all the State Govts.The phased programme has been prepared based on the proposals received from the State Governments and from the Regional Directors.

Arrangements for medical care may be made by setting up of separate
dispensaries or through IMP Clinics. Areas having Jess than 1000 employees have not been included in the phased programme. However, in case the scheme can be implemented in such areas located in the periphery of existing implemented areas by attaching them with existing dispensary, the Corporation would welcome such proposals.

Pls refer to the Month wise year wise Phase Programme for implementation

Respective Circular is enclosed for your Kind Perusal

One Doctor Dispensary Norms for More Than 2000 IPs family units in newly Implemented Areas

Posted by & filed under Esic-Circulars.

As per ESI 2.0 reforms, the ESIC has to cover entire Districts by 2016 where it is currently functional. Further expansion will be happening due to increase in coverage by reducing threshold below 10 and also by covering construction and other unorganized sector workers. Due to this, manifold increase in the total number of IPs is expected. Based on the earlier decision of ESIC,a Sub Committee was constituted to suggest on expansion of medical facilities based on geographical necessity. It has recommended setting up of one doctor dispensary in such uncovered areas which are to be covered
In view of the above, ESI Corporation in its 167th meeting held on 18th December, 2015 has approved that in such, to be implemented new areas, if no other appropriate facility is there, ESIC should open one doctor dispensary with the following features:
A. Staff:
Doctor – 1
Nurse/ ANM- 1
Pharmacist – 1
LDC/UDC/MTS- 1
B. Area: 200 sq. mtr. (approx)
In view of the urgency of requirement, porta cabins can be used.
