New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Services (AIIMS) has decided to temporarily close down routine walk-in OPD patient registrations, including speciality clinics and all centers, with effect from April 8 to minimize the possibility of community spread of coronavirus and optimize diversion of available manpower and resources for the treatment of affected patients.
It said OPDs/specialty clinics will continue to provide requisite services only for such patients (new and follow-up) having prior appointments.
