About Employee Health Scheme (EHS - YSRAHCT)

Employee Health Scheme (EHS), launched under the aegis of Dr YSR Aarogyasri Healthcare Trust, is one such initiative that is supervised by the Andhra Pradesh government. Government employees, their families, as well as pensioners can avail cashless treatment at any empanelled network hospital under the scheme.
