New Delhi: AIIMS has taken another initiative in the interest of patients, under which a new super specialty block will be built for OPD of Heart and Neuro. There will be OPD of Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery here. Patients will be admitted in Cardiac Neuro Center. There will be only OPD in the new block and only admission and surgery will be done in the old block. AIIMS Director said that our aim is to provide better facilities to the patients. In this regard, it has been decided to build a new OPD block.

Big decision to help patients

Actually, about 12 to 13 thousand patients come to OPD in AIIMS every day. These include patients from every department. OPD of all general departments has started in the new building, which is fully equipped with facilities like air conditioning, lift and escalator. AIIMS has Cardiac Neuro Center for the treatment of heart and neuro diseases. OPD is held on the ground floor of this 7-floor building. In this, OPD of Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery is held on different days in turn.

Steps taken in view of the large crowd

Due to less space, there is a lot of crowd here. There are attendants along with the patients. There is no place for everyone to sit, because there is no space left even for placing chairs. To overcome this problem, the AIIMS administration has made an extension plan for the OPD, the work of which can start soon.
