12 hospitals have been taken up by the Employees State Insurance Corporation, ESIC, so far under the Model Hospital Scheme to run them as model hospitals. Under the Scheme, one ESI hospital in each state is proposed to be taken over by the ESIC.
The ESIC has also set up the Scheme of Revolving Fund to provide advance payments for super specialty treatment to Insured persons of ESI and their families. Besides, the scope of Revolving Fund has been extended to make the payments of drugs and dressings, equipments and annual maintenance contracts procured by the State governments.
