Army launches welfare helpline
Lt Gen Praveen Bakshi, Eastern Army Commander in his address stated that the facility was in continuation of the Army Chief’s focus on welfare of Ex-servicemen and Veer Naris.
The VEcare service is a new initiative not only for the veterans but also the serving personnel of all three services. It would be of immense help to individuals in distress and requiring immediate medical help.
Gen Bakshi also said that the helpline would soon be further developed to encompass other important aspects like pension.
VEcare service can be availed from landline or mobile by simply dialing 1904. To a registered mobile user, it will provide automated voice guidance for medical emergency assistance including immediate dispatch of an ambulance, queries related to medical facilities and appointments at ECHS or Command Hospital, CSD related services and facilitate connectivity to Army numbers.
