Some of the facilities that the new OPD includes are new waiting hall with seating capacity of 2, 550, additional seating capacity, 120 patients care coordinators for patients assistance and guidance and four large LED appointment status boards displaying the real time appointment availability for increased transparency and visibility.
"This new OPD will speeden up the existing appointments procedure in the premiere hospital. This is for patient's better communication, control and exigencies," said Nadda at the ceremony.
