The doctors will examine the patients in the OPD throughout the day.
Right now, the situation is that after the online registration, the patients' turn for a check up comes after two and a half weeks. About 350 patients are treated daily.
Presently the temporary OPD is being run in Ayush Bhawan. The crowd is increasing day by day due to the increasing number of patients.
