February 8, 2008 | Health, e-Gov and News.

New Delhi: In order to extend upgraded medical services to its

beneficiaries by using available space and facilities through the

outsourcing model, Hindustan Latex (HLL) has set up a diagnostic

centre HINDLABS partnering with the Central Government Health Scheme

(CGHS).

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the centre

will provide quality diagnostic services to the CGHS beneficiaries at

CGHS rates and would also provide the same to patients outside the

CGHS too at affordable rates.

This centre will have two major facilities, which include a clinical

specimen testing lab to deliver pathology, haematology and

biochemistry tests; and a diagnostic imaging facility.

The operation of the centre and customer interfaces will be

integrated through laboratory management software, which will be

capable of patient registration, billing, report entry and issual and

generation of reports.

CGHS is one of the primary healthcare delivery networks of the

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which delivers economical and

quality medical care facilities to central government employees

across India.

HindLabs, set up on a pilot basis, will be scaled up in the coming

six-month period in the National Capital region and other metros all

over the country.

Hindustan Latex is a mini ratna enterprise under the Ministry of

Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India.

The company is in the process of setting up 30 LifeSpring Hospitals

in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharastra.

Apart from hospitals, the major focus of the company will primarily

be in the area of high quality health care delivery at affordable

rates.

According to the Ministry, major initiatives in the infrastructure

upgradation of hospitals and health centres are now being undertaken

across the country by the government.

In this scenario, outsourcing of the diagnostic facilities at these

hospitals assumes importance, to enable the hospital to focus on

their primary responsibility of ensuring high standards of medical

care.
