To tackle the issue, the Medical Education Department is planning measures for crowd management in hospitals. A queue management and help desk system, similar to the one recently implemented at Jaipuria Hospital, will be rolled out in other hospitals to streamline patient flow and ensure efficient use of resources.
The state government is also taking steps to strengthen oversight across all medical college-affiliated hospitals.
