"(Presently) only a serious condition known as Dengue shock could be brought under the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Medical Insurance Scheme, there are some conditions in availing the insurance benefits for whole dengue treatment," Tamil Nadu BJP President Tamilisai Soundararajan said in a statement here.
Urging the government to relax such restrictive norms, she said, "Such conditions should be relaxed enabling beneficiaries to avail insurance benefit for complete dengue treatment starting from preliminary stages."
Claiming that the incidence of dengue had increased in Tamil Nadu, she wanted the government to make arrangements for providing special treatment for the disease in all state-run hospitals including those in rural areas.
