What to watch next
- Whether the government implements a cashless treatment scheme in all reputed hospitals under the Employees Health Scheme
- Whether the government reimburses pensioners' medical expenditure within three months as requested
- Whether hospitals resume treatment under EHS after changes in hospital policies
