Now 'RBSK' will provide free treatment to mentally disabled children


Bareilly: If your child is born mentally disabled or has a bad organ, you need not panic. Such children will now be treated free of cost under the RBSK i.e. National Child Health Program by the Health Department. About 20 serious diseases will be treated free of cost under this scheme. This information was given by Chief Medical Superintendent Dr. KS Gupta in a workshop held on Saturday at the CMS office in the district hospital.

Children will have health checkup
Health check up of children registered in Anganwadi centers in the city and rural areas will be done to find out the diseases. If the disease is not serious, it will be treated there itself. If the child is suffering from a serious illness, he will be admitted to the district hospital and treated.
There will be benefits in these diseases:

  1. Neural Tube Defect
  2. Down syndrome
  3. Clift Lip & Pellet
  4. Telepres
  5. Developmental Diplasia of Hip
  6. Congenital cataract
  7. Conventional Defense

  9. Retinopathy of prematurity
  10. Anemia
  11. Rickets

  14. Skin Disease
  15. Otitis Media
  16. Human Heart Disease
  17. Dental Disease
  18. Convulsive disorder
  19. Hearing Disease
  20. Speech and Language Delay

    21. Doctor's responsibility
    Under this scheme, departmental doctors will be responsible for the entire treatment from prescription of children marked for treatment. They will have to submit a full report from the patient's admission to discharge to the CMO.
    Action will be taken on apathy
    RBSK is a major program. Therefore, according to the guide line, the doctors who will be entrusted with the responsibility of treating children, will have to work with positive attitude. On the complaint of the patient's family, the doctor may have to face major action.
    Children up to 19 years will get benefit
    Under RBSK, only beneficiaries from birth to 19 years will be able to take benefits. After survey of schools and Anganwadi centers on behalf of the department, children suffering from these diseases will be identified and called to the district hospital for treatment.
