In the line with the Government guidelines to curb the pandemic, all OPD services for new and follow-up registrations were terminated to divert the healthcare workers for Covid-19 management. Doctors at JNMC were providing tele-consultancy to all patients undergoing treatment in an effort to reduce the need for them to visit the facility. The OPDs are now opening after the Central Government allowed for restrictions to be lifted in a phased manner.
