Medical Care for Poor People

As per the guidelines of the Kashag (the highest executive body of the exile Tibetan polity), following an extensive poverty survey across the exile Tibetan community, all people living below the poverty threshold were grouped into three categories for intervention by three Departments of the CTA. According to this arrangement, the medical expenses of all people, who have been screened and approved as eligible by the Central Poverty Alleviation Committee, are reimbursed by the Department.
