Big relief for patients coming from different parts from India specially from North as PGI has changed their operations timings. Before Corona operations of patients were done till 8 PM in PGI. But during Corona timings get changed to 5 pm. Because of this patients had to wait from 5 to 6 months for operation.
After these timing change now 506 additional patients can be operated from the patients coming for operations every day. Due to this more then two hundred will be able to get timely treatment every day.
There are a total of 40 operation theatres in PGI. Nehru Hospital alone has 16 theatres. More than 450 patients are being treated for minor and major surgeries every day. PGI has issued a letter to all these departments. In this, instructions have been given to keep the operation time from 8 am to 8 pm. This operation can be done 5 days from Monday to Friday.
