How PSUs are building competence in healthcare facilities
For years together, the 300-plus PSU hospitals under the central and state governments have upheld a culture of comprehensive healthcare services to their employees and dependants. Most PSU hospitals run by Miniratna, Maharatna and Navaratna companies contribute immensely towards patient services. Right from ensuring hygiene and transparency, and averting unnecessary queues, PSU-run hospitals have been synonymous to better patient outcomes.
PSU organisations established with the objective of profit making in certain specified government sectors have been contributing immensely to healthcare via PSU hospitals by not only catering to the healthcare needs of their employees, contract workers and their families, but also offering services to people from in and around the cities, towns, village they operate. They are also known for effectively handle emergency cases like accident victims and heart patients.
As per the latest data compiled by the government, the total corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending has increased by around 11.6 per cent in 2015-16 compared to 2014-15. The CSR spending by PSUs has substantially increased in 2015-16 as compared to 2014-15. From ₹2,497 crore in 2014-15, the spending has gone up to ₹ 3,360 crore in 2015-16, an increase of 35 per cent. This follows adverse comments by the parliamentary standing committee on the CSR spending of PSUs. On the other hand, the spending by private companies has increased only marginally from ₹6306 crore in 2014-15 to ₹6462 crore in 2015-16.
