ECHS membership is compulsory for the Armed Forces Veterans. To facilitate the beneficiaries there are accute shortage of polyclincs in far flung areas. Some times, the Beneficiary required to travel 300KM to visit ECHS. Considering the lack of infrastructure, ECHS has now decided to open 17 New Polyclinics. 42 Polyclinics have been upgraded.

It has been observed that 80% of the members of Armed Forces are living in Rural areas and after retirement 70% veterans lives in Rural India, where no such ECHS faccilities available at their nearby cities. Only 30% veterans are residing nearby the ECHS polyclinics (in a radius of 30 KM). Due to distance matters, most of the beneficiaries avoid visiting ECHS as it is beyond Economic Facilities. Travelling cost from home to ECHS is quite high. Whereas, they can visit nearby pvt/govt hospitals with less amount and better treatment.
