In recent years, India, like several other developing countries, has established different types of
social security scheme. The ESIS is one among such scheme. Its main objectives is to provide
medical benefit’s for citizens who’s earnings fall under certain limit of income.
Scenario
IP 1 : I took my wife for antenatal care and for delivery to ESI hospital, Ayanavaram, Chennai. The treatment was very good
IP 2: I took my mother for asthma treatment to the ESI hospital Vellore. She was feeling better than when she was treated in a
private hospital
IP 3: Fifteen days back I went to the ESI clinic with an ear ache. Medical services were good. I suffer from this complaint frequently.
And I visit ESI regularly for treatment. I am satisfied with their service.
These factors affect diverse groups of individuals differently and play distinctive roles in the decision to seek medical care
(mostly taken by the individual) and in the decision regarding the subsequent number of visits to ESI dispensaries or
private facilities.

Feedback recording…focus to improve
Scenario
IP 1:
The conditions in the dispensaries are appalling. We have to ultimately go to a government hospital or arrange money for
private treatment. What then, is the use of the ESI
IP 2:
The timing does not suit our working hours. We find it difficult to take leave or permission to go to the clinic in the morning
hours. Finally we end up going to private doctors
IP 3 :
In the out-patient’s clinic there are not enough places; with many patients the place is not very comfortable. Receiving the OP
card itself takes a long time. The sanitation conditions in these facilities are also not very good
IP 4 :
Not enough diagnostics facilities are available in these clinics. Where diagnostic facilities are available most of the doctors are
men and female beneficiaries registered under this scheme are reluctant to approach them for diagnosis. They prefer getting
treatment from private nursing homes or private clinics, several times out-of-pocket expenditure incurred for treatment and
reimbursement at times takes several weeks
