The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) has debunked a fake notice claiming its Wellness Centres would close from August 27-31, 2026. The scheme confirms centres will remain open during these dates. The false notice circulated using the CGHS name and logo. It stated centres would shut for NEET PG 2026 examination duties. The CGHS Directorate has officially rejected this notice. It states the communication was unauthorized and untrue.
CGHS Wellness Centres Remain Open
CGHS Wellness Centres will operate as usual from August 27 to August 31, 2026. This schedule applies to all centres. The Directorate confirmed this in an official clarification. Beneficiaries can access services according to their regular hours. CGHS personnel deployed for official duties will have arrangements made. This ensures healthcare services for beneficiaries are not impacted.
Fake Notice Details
The unauthorized notice falsely claimed closure. It cited deployment of Medical Officers for NEET PG 2026. The notice did not originate from the CGHS Directorate. It should not be treated as an official order. CGHS urges beneficiaries to rely on verified communications. This avoids confusion and misinformation.
NEET PG 2026 Exam Context
The clarification precedes the NEET PG 2026 examination. The exam is scheduled for August 30, 2026 . CGHS issued this statement to prevent confusion. Beneficiaries should follow their centre's standard schedule. This applies from August 27 to August 31. Any local changes will be communicated officially.
