OPD registration timings will be from 8am to 11am, though online registration will also continue. Earlier, online registration was compulsory and patients were called for physical consultation on the basis of their condition and doctor’s choice.

“Since the threat of Covid has yet not fully receded, crowding needs to be restricted. Physical OPDs will initially be opened for Chandigarh patients. The situation will be reviewed after a week for opening them for tricity patients,” GMCH staid in a statement. The telemedicine and e-sanjeevani facility will continue as such, and patients residing outside Chandigarh can take consultation through them.
