Are CGHS centres closed from August 27-31?
The Central Government Health Scheme's (CGHS) wellness centres will continue to operate during the period of August 27 to 31, 2026, as per their regular schedules. This clarification comes after a misleading notice started circulating on social media, claiming the centres would be closed during these five days. The notice, which featured the CGHS name and logo, falsely stated that medical officers had been assigned duty for the NEET-PG examination.
However, the directorate of CGHS has confirmed that the notice was unauthorized and not issued by the organization. CGHS beneficiaries are advised to disregard the fake notice and continue using the wellness centres according to their usual operating hours.
