Minutes of the meeting that representatives of SNPWA, AIBSNL PWA and MREWA have had with AS& DGCGHS on 28th Sept, 26, at New Delhi.
Dear Comrades,
This Association is, by and large, satisfied with the decisions taken on items 2, 3 and 4th.
However, on item no 1, which pertains to issue of GLP1RAs, Association is completely in disagreement with what has been reiterated.
This Association fully assures its members that it will continue to vigorously pursue the issue of GLP1 RAs to Chronic Diabetic Beneficiaries. This Association will have a very serious discussion also with Mr Rajshekar Rao, Senior Counsel, Supreme Court, for filing of a Writ Petition in Delhi High Court on this issue since the present decision of CGHS contained in the instructions of 24th Sept, 26, is violative of Article 21 of the Constitution. Before that, however, we will vigorously pursue the issue with Chairman/ NHRC.
However, we are quite satisfied and highly thankful to AS/DGCGHS for his decision with regard to purchase of Indented Medicines directly from the manufacturers, eliminating middle men and intermediaries who, besides supplying spurious drugs, were pilferaging massive resources of CGHS through dubious means. Besides, the beneficiaries will receive the Indented medicines from the actual manufacturer.
We are thankful to AS/ DGCGHS for his assurance that inclusion of Pneumococcal Vaccine under CGHS is under consideration.
We are also thankful to AS/ DGCGHS also for explicitly clarifying that Robotic Surgery is included for Cancer Treatment and also his assurance that CGHS would keep pace with technological advancements in so far as Inclusion of Robotic Surgery for other Surgeries is concerned. This is quite an encouraging assurance.
Dear CHQ office bearers / CSs / Activist, A very high level of responsibility is placed on CHQ office bearers/ CSs to consistently interact and closely monitor by regular interaction with respective ADs to ensure that Indented medicines are supplied directly from the manufacturers like say Cipla, Sun pharma etc etc. and that no substitute Indented Medicines are issued by the WCs. This has been explicitly decided by AS& DG/CGHS. This will not only ensure proper indented medicines are given to Beneficiaries but more than that will save hundreds and hundreds of crores of Precious and Scarce CGHS resources which are presently pilfered through intermediaries and middlemen. These intermediaries have a very close and well calibrated nexus with many officials of CGHS by which they procure Indented Medicines from substandard Companies and Charge rates of Actual Manufacturers. DG/ CGHS was extremely concerned and disturbed to know all this when the modus operandi employed by these middle men was explained in detail to him. That is why he decided on spot that Indented Medicines must be procured directly from the Manufacturers. We will ensure that proper and immediate follow up action and decisions are taken by the concerned CGHS authorities to implement this crucial decision. It will require modifications in the existing tender for procurement policy of Indented Medicines. CHQ will follow it up with the concerned authorities.
Besides, Comrades, it has to be closely monitored that respective ADs immediately give permission for Robotic Surgery for Cancer Treatments since such surgeries involve very high level of precision and are critical for recovery of Beneficiaries afflicted by this deadly disease. That is why this Association has had been very very vigorously and relentlessly, and on highest priority, pursuing for last more than two years to include Robotic Surgery for Oncology Surgeries.
A very high and close monitoring by CSs is required at the AD level to ensure that these important decisions are translated into real action at the field level. Lack of close monitoring and interaction with ADs will render the whole effort of CHQ meaningless and futile.
Comradely yours,
G. L. Jogi, GS / SNPWA.

PCPS Vehemently denounces the move of the Government to sell its 100% stake in IMPCL (Indian Medicine Pharmaceutical Corporation Ltd) to Skymap Pharmaceutical Pvt Ltd for a Paltry highly Undervalued sum of Rs 121 crores.
Continued Privatization is part of sinister move of the Government to offload its equity and hand over strategic units of the Government to vested interests. SNPWA is an active affiliate of PCPS and will actively participate in opposing Privatization of IMPCL.
Comrade Thomas Franco, with whom we have been associated for a long time, has done an extensive and indepth analysis of this diabolical Privatization move of the Government.

Dear Comrades,
CBMPA decided to hold lunch hour demonstration on 7th Oct, 2026, at BSNL offices throughout the Country to outrightly condemn unwarranted and arbitrary decision of CMD / BSNL to stop FMA (without vounchers) to Retired employees of BSNL who have opted for BSNL MRS.
This outrageous onslaught on Pensioners by CMD/ BSNL, whose performance has been extremely dismal and miserable and is on his way out, has pushed down growth of BSNL to lowest depths, deserves strongest condemnation.
JOIN EN MASSE AND MAKE THE DEMONSTRATION A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
- GS / SNPWA.
