GS SNNPWA addresses to the Honble Justice R. Subramanian, Chairperson / NHRC, apprising him in detail as to how CGHS, based on manipulated guidelines of MOH & FW, is denying access to CGHS Beneficiaries, afflicted by Chronic Type-2 Diabetes, to Medically and Clinically proven Drugs, GLP 1RAs, by formulating fabricated guidelines for aadministration of these drugs, thereby consciously allowing them to develop Life Threatening Diseases.
These Lethal guidelines, framed with exclusive objective of containing expenditure by MOH&FW, perhaps at the behest of M.O.F, are not even remotely near to the prescribed criteria of ICMR and other recognized institutions for Administration of these drugs.
These highly condemnable and fatal instructions issued by MOH& FW need to be reviewd and rescinded immediately in the context of how deadly they are for CGHS Beneficiaries with Chronic Type 2 Diabetes by not adhering to established Clinical protocol.
CGHS Beneficiaries are not guinea pigs the way they are being treated by both MOH& FW and CGHS.

Dear Comrades,
GS SNPWA had a very detailed discussion with a Senior Official of NHRC regarding supply of GLP 1 RAs to CGHS Beneficiaries afflicted with Chronic Type Diabetes whose Blood Sugar levels cannot be contained by Oral medicines and Insulin, and who need to be Administered GLP 1 RAs to safeguard them from developing Life Threatening diseases like CVD, CKD. CVD, and OSA.
Apprised him of the guidelines issued by MOH& FW on 24.7.26 which restrict supply of these drugs to those Diabetics who have a BMI of 35 KG/ M2 and are having one or more of the above Life Threatening Diseases.
It was very difficult for the said official to believe all this since he felt it is unimaginable if such restrictions are imposed by MOH& FW for administration of GLP 1 RAs for CGHS Beneficiaries afflicted by Chronic Type 2 Diabetes, and are in utter violation of Article 21, the official reiterated.
However, finally, the official asked GS SNPWA to send a detailed note, including the orders of MOH& FW and the existing protocol of ICMR immediately. The official assured that after examining all the documets, NHRC may issue Notice ro Secy/ MOH& FW since NHRC has Quasi Judicial powers.
The official also asked GS SNPWA to meet him personally next week, assuring that NHRC will take very strong Cognisance of such instructions which infringe upon Art 21 of the Constitution.

GS SNPWA addresses to Shri.J. P. Nadda, Hon MOH&FW conveying to him outright condemnation of this Association over the Ateocious, Despicable and Arbitrary guidelines issued by CGHS on 24.7.26 for regulating Administration of GLP 1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS for Type 2 Diabetics having uncontrolled blood sugar that cannot be contained by Traditional Medicies and Insulins.
Informing him that basic objective of the Administration of this drug is for the purpose of ensuring that Vulnerable Group amongst Diabetics don't contract Life Threatening Diseases like Cardiovascular, Chronic kidney/ Liver Disease. Ironically, perverse, fabricated and motivated guidelines of CGHS dated 24.07.26, in direct contravention of protocol of ICMR, stipulate that a CGHS Beneficiary must have defined BMI (which is basically for Weight Management) and must have one or more of the above Life Threatening Diseases for Administration of these critical drugs. This is how Expert Committe conducted and acted, based on the dictat from the Government.
The so-called report of such expert committes is always mandated and based on definite instructions from the government, particularly, MoF,. And MoF has been playing havoc with Pensioners by introducing the Validation Act, 25, to deny them Pension Revision, introducing the Insurance Scheme for CHHS Beneficiaries to eventually dismantle CGHS.
Finally, informing the MoH and FW to initiate immediate action for withdrawal of Lethal, Life Threatening and Manipulated guidelines of the expert committe for Administration of these Life Saving Drugs and follow the protocol of ICMR. Further, cautioning MOC that in case the said Retrograde orders are not rescinded immediately, members of this Association will be coerced to launch Nationwide Protest Actions and the consequences of all this will squarely lie with the MOH&FW.
