President, ERWWO, Kanchrapara
ERWWO ,Kanchrapara has a lot of dedication towards the health and well being of the Retired Employees and their dependents belonging to Kanchrapara jurisdiction . Previously, a number of promotive health check-up camps have been organized for the pensioners.
Considering the fact that Indian Railways is one of the very few organizations in the world to give FULL medical benefit to its retired employees at par with the serving employees, a guide book was felt necessary that would be informative to the retired beneficiaries to make full use of this facility.
ERWWO , Kanchrapara, in collaboration with the Workshop Railway Hospital, Kanchrapara is bringing out a handbook mentioning the various medical facilities available for the retired employee that they can avail from Workshop Railway Hospital, Kanchrapara, Divisional and Orthopaedic Hospital ,Howrah and B.R Singh Hospital, Sealdah.
The first part of the booklet contains some useful circulars and information pertaining to the medical facilities for retired employee. The second part had a complete list of medical facilities available in Railway Hospitals located in Kanchrapara, Howrah and Sealdah and empanelled private hospitals which have signed MOUs with these Hospitals for emergency and referral treatments
Also included towards the end is a chapter on geriatric diseases
All attempts have been made to include only authentic and updated information. Hope this compilation will prove to be useful for retired railway men and their family members and a copy of the booklet is intended to be handed out to the Employee on the last day of his service before retirement from Kanchrapara Workshop.
