Event Summary

The India — Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) issued a clarification on August 22, 2026, stating that a circulating notice claiming its Wellness Centres would be closed from August 27 to 31, 2026, due to deployment of Medical Officers for NEET-PG examination duty is fake and unauthorised. The Directorate of CGHS confirmed that all Wellness Centres will continue to operate according to their regular schedules during that period. Any deployment of CGHS personnel for official duties will be managed through administrative arrangements to ensure uninterrupted services. CGHS has instructed its offices not to display or circulate the unauthorised notice and advised beneficiaries to verify information only through official channels. The unauthorised use of the CGHS name and logo is being taken seriously, and the public is encouraged to report the source of the fake notice.
