From Distance to Access: Indian Coast Guard and Rainbow Superspeciality Hospital Pioneer Local Healthcare for Defence Veterans
In a heartwarming collaboration, Indian Coast Guard Air Station Daman, in partnership with Rainbow Super Specialty Hospital, Vapi, has made accessing quality healthcare easier and more convenient for approximately 4000 defence veterans and their dependents residing in Daman, Vapi, and Valsad. Previously, defence veterans faced daunting journeys of over 200 kilometers to Mumbai for medical treatment under the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS). However, thanks to the concerted efforts of the Coast Guard and Rainbow Specialty Hospital, veterans can now receive cashless and hassle-free treatment right in Vapi itself, sparing them from the burdensome travel.
