The outpatient departments (OPDs) of all government hospitals overseen by the state’s public health department will now operate twice daily, ensuring health checkups for patients in both the morning and evening. Dr. Ramaswamy N, the Health Service Commissioner, has issued orders.
The OPDs of primary health centers, government hospitals, primary health corps, and health extension centers will be open from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Additionally, only primary health centre OPDs will operate from 4 pm to 6 pm.
The Raipur primary health center now offers evening hours. During a visit by an LT representative to the Raipur primary health center in Hingana, it was noted that the outpatient department commenced operations at 4 pm. Villagers mentioned that the Adegaon primary health center, located near the jungle of Hingana tehsil, will also start evening services.
This decision will be implemented across all government hospitals, primary health centers, various government clinics, primary health squads, and outpatient departments of health extension centers.
