Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is all set to make life easier for patients and their families struggling with the cumbersome process of accessing financial aid from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF). The fund offers emergency assistance to individuals and families affected by natural calamities, accidents, or medical emergencies.

According to officials managing the relief fund office, starting May 1, citizens will no longer need to visit the CMRF office at Mantralaya in person to apply for financial aid. Instead, hospitals will be required to upload patient data upon admission and obtain the necessary approvals digitally.
