Structure of ECHS

The ECHS is organised in three levels, with the Central Organization at the top, Regional Centers in the middle, and Polyclinics at the functional level. Currently, a Major General leads the Central Organization of the ECHS, and a Colonel oversees the regional centres.

The Chiefs of Staff Committee, through the Adjutant General in the Integrated Headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, is in charge of the Central Organization, or ECHS, which is based in Delhi (Army).

Depending on whether a military hospital is nearby or not, polyclinics are classified as either military or non-military. They are then further divided into five types, referred to as Types A through E, based on the amount of ex-servicemen living in that region. The different PC kinds are as follows:-
