DOP&T’s order allowing medical treatment abroad to officers of IAS,IPS and IFoS , is criminal waste of foreign exchange defying logic in the face of rising fiscal deficit, and depreciating rupee value. The demands for strengthening public health care in India was rejected by the Planning Commission citing budgetary constraints. How do funds become available now for officers of three Services? Superspeciality hospitals have been set up in India by leasing costly public land to private sector at through away prices. It was hoped that this would save the country scarce “foreign exchange” so that people could secure world-class medicare at home. India is a hub for medical tourists and earn foreign exchange.All other Civil Services Officers associations must protest against discrimination causing heart burnings. A PIL would solve the problem.
