Walk-in OPD Services closed at AIIMS Bhubaneswar

TNI Bureau: With the increase in number of Covid-19 patients and the Hospital staff testing positive for the Coronavirus, the AIIMS, Bhubaneswar has closed its walk-in OPD services from July 10, 2020.

Many AIIMS Staff had to go on quarantine in the last few days after they turned out to be close contacts of COVID-19 patients. Some areas such as Sijua are under containment, triggering further panic in AIIMS.

Even though walk-in OPD services will be stopped, telemedicine consultations will continue. All patients with online registrations will be contacted by the respective departments and their treatment will be done through teleconsultation.
