There will also be an announcement for the IGl 'Swasth Saarthi' Web Portal which will have all the details of health check up of the drivers. All they will have to do is enter their Aadhar Card number and the password (available to them during check up) to view their check up history on the website for the future reference of the doctor.
The health check up which will be conducted in collaboration with St. Stephens Hospital will be continued for the next two months till 31st august 2017 in various stations across Delhi NCR.
