Now you will not have to stand in long OPD queues to get treatment at Chandigarh's PGI hospital. PGI hospital management is going to start a new scheme under which the card will be made from the Sampark Centre itself. This will reduce the crowd in the hospital and people coming for treatment will also get convenience.
Patients coming from far away will benefit
PGI Deputy Director Pankaj Rai said that the hospital information system has been updated. This will promote online registration. This will benefit the patients the most who come from far off places to get their relatives treated. This will also save their time.
10 thousand patients come to PGI every day
Every day 10 thousand patients come to OPD in PGI and the counter for making cards is open only from 8 am to 11 am. To avoid queues, the management is planning to use technology, which will provide more convenience to the patients.
GMSH hospital also has contact card facility
Let us tell you that this facility has been started in Government Multi Specialist Hospital last year. However, it could not prove to be very effective. Because it costs Rs. 10 to get the card made at the Sampark Centre. Whereas it is made for free in the hospital.
