Details
Building and construction work is tough, and workers often face health challenges. To support them during difficult times, the Manipur Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Board has a special scheme called 'Medical Expenses for Treatment of Major Ailments of a Beneficiary'. This initiative provides much-needed financial relief for expensive medical treatments.
Simply put, this scheme helps registered construction workers in Manipur and their immediate family members with the costs of treating serious diseases. If a worker or their spouse or children fall ill with specific major ailments, the Board steps in to help with the medical bills.
The primary beneficiaries are construction workers who are officially registered with the Manipur Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Board. Their family members, specifically their spouse and children, are also covered under this scheme if they are diagnosed with any of the listed major illnesses.
Major illnesses can drain a family's finances. This scheme aims to ease that burden by providing financial assistance. It ensures that workers don't have to choose between their health and their financial stability, especially when facing life-threatening conditions. By covering costs for both minor treatments and major surgeries, it offers comprehensive support.
