How OPD appointment booking works in Delhi

Booking an OPD appointment at a government hospital in Delhi can be done through a few different methods. Many central government hospitals, such as AIIMS, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, and Safdarjung Hospital, use the national Online Registration System (ORS) portal at ors.gov.in. Patients can use their Aadhaar-linked mobile number to book a slot in advance.

For many Delhi government hospitals, appointments may be available through their specific online portals or apps, or by registering in person at the hospital. On-site registration requires visiting the hospital's OPD registration counter, usually early in the morning on the day of the consultation. It is advisable to carry your Aadhaar card, any previous medical records, and referral slips if you have them.

For follow-up visits, the appointment is often scheduled directly at the concerned department's counter after your initial consultation. The doctor or the department staff will provide instructions on how and when to book the next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral letter to see a specialist in a Delhi government hospital?

For many super-speciality departments like cardiology, neurology, or oncology, a referral from a doctor in a general department (like General Medicine or General Surgery) may be required. This policy can vary between hospitals, so it is helpful to check the specific hospital's procedure.

Where can I find information about using Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY or other schemes?

Most major government hospitals have dedicated help desks or counters for government health schemes. You can look for 'Ayushman Mitra' help desks to get information on eligibility, required documents, and the process to avail benefits under the scheme at that particular hospital.

What are the usual OPD registration timings in Delhi government hospitals?

OPD registration counters generally open in the morning, often around 8:00 AM, and close for new patient registrations by late morning, typically around 11:00 AM. These timings are not standard across all hospitals and can differ by department. It is recommended to verify the exact timings from the hospital's official website or inquiry counter.
