Gold ring scheme for newborn babies in Tamil Nadu: Doctors’ body flags high security, logistics costs
In a district-level costing of the proposed hub-and-spoke model, the SDPGA said the hospital-based arrangement could cost roughly three times the State-wide administrative norm prescribed in the Government Order
A government doctors’ association in Tamil Nadu has raised concerns over the high security and logistics costs associated with the proposed newborn gold ring delivery scheme, known as Thaimaman Thanga Mothiram Thittam. The Service Doctors and Post Graduates Association (SDPGA) argues that the administrative burden and expenses for implementing the hub-and-spoke model would far exceed the state-wide administrative norm outlined in the Government Order.
The association recommends that the scheme be delivered via a bank channel, utilizing existing infrastructure rather than creating a new bullion-security apparatus within government hospitals.
