Chaos at KGMU after Server Failure hits OPD operations
King George's Medical University
Lucknow: A server outage at King George’s Medical University (KGMU) on Wednesday morning caused a major disruption to outpatient department (OPD) services, impacting thousands of patients dependent on the facility for medical care. The outage caused widespread chaos in both the New and Old OPD blocks and also halted registration services at Lari Cardiology and Queen Mary's Hospital.
KGMU usually registers between 7,000 and 8,000 patients daily, with registration starting at 8 am and OPD services commencing at 9 am. However, on Wednesday, patients were left waiting in the cold as registration was delayed, leading to frustration among those who had arrived early. By 10 am, when there was still no sign of registration resuming, the KGMU administration initiated offline registration to manage the situation, offering relief to the waiting patients.
