Jipmer will selectively restart outpatient (OPD) services on Friday.

According to a press note, patients need to call and register on 0413-2298200. Jipmer will first send the appointment date and time for telephone and video consultation as text messages to the patient’s mobile. After the telephone consultation, selected patients will get a text message for personal visit to Jipmer.

Only patients with this message will be allowed to enter the hospital. After checking at screening OPD, patients will be directed to their respective OPDs. Only one attender is allowed with each patient, and both must wear masks.

Patients will need to follow travel restrictions imposed by the government, and Jipmer cannot make any exemptions, the press note read.
