The following initiatives have been taken to modernize them;
 
a)     All the CGHS dispensaries have been computerized. All the transactions for medicines are done online thereby making the system transparent and minimizing the delay in issue of medicines. The beneficiaries can also view online the history of medicines issued to them.
 
b)     CGHS plastic cards have been issued to the beneficiaries enabling them to avail the facilities from any CGHS wellness centre.
 
 
c)     SMS alert system on issue of medicines to CGHS beneficiaries on the mobile phone has been initiated to act as deterrent against pilferage of medicines by unscrupulous elements.
