West Bengal Govt hospitals to run OPDs from 9 am
Kolkata: Amid the rush of patients since Monday night, the West Bengal health department has taken a decision to start operations at the outpatient departments in the state-run hospitals earlier than the current schedule, effective from Wednesday.
A notification in this regard has been issued by the state health department on Tuesday, advancing the time from 10 a.m. by an hour to 9 a.m.
The administrative departments in these state-run hospitals will also have to update the state health department on whether all the doctors and healthcare staff are present on duty by 9.15 a.m. on a daily basis.

Besides sending the daily abridged attendance report, the administrative departments in the state-run hospitals will also have to send detailed attendance reports to the nodal officer on a weekly basis.
