He pointed out that the patient footfall at RMLIMS is around 4,000 per day, while emergency witnesses over 550 patients on a daily basis.

“With the recruitment of 166 faculties, RMLIMS has taken every care to provide smooth services to patients. To deal with the rush, several important steps have been taken and other initiatives are in store,” professor Singh said.

While 47 beds are operational in the emergency area at present, 45 more will be added for smooth functioning and better patient care, he added.

Green OPD

Green OPD will be launched soon in the emergency premises. Patients will be segregated in serious and non-serious categories to avoid unnecessary occupation of beds in the emergency unit.

Patients with non-serious health issues will be sent for consultation at the green OPD.
