Details
Many construction workers in Nagaland face financial strain when they or their family members need medical treatment. To ease this burden, the Nagaland Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Board (NBOCWWB) has a dedicated scheme to provide medical assistance.
The "Medical Assistance" scheme is designed to offer financial support to registered construction workers and their immediate family members during hospital stays. It helps cover some of the daily costs associated with being admitted to a hospital.
This scheme is for individuals who are registered as building and other construction workers with the NBOCWWB. The financial support extends not just to the worker but also to their spouse and children.
Medical emergencies can strike anyone, and for construction workers, a hospital stay can mean a loss of daily wages along with mounting medical bills. This scheme provides a crucial safety net, ensuring that essential hospitalization doesn't lead to severe financial hardship for these workers and their families.
