The standard time to process an application is up to 10 working days. The processing begins from when we have received the completed application form.

Read very carefully one more time. Paragraph 'C' is all giving different advice like telling you where to dial, location of the pharmacy etc. if you are in trouble at the airport. It's not talking about any healthcare services being given. That paragraph is full of information being conveyed and not necessarily any services.
