Outpatient timings differ by department, and an evening OPD is not the same thing as an emergency — which never closes. Below is every department this campus runs, with the session the hospital has confirmed under each name.
The two claims this page keeps apart
The general window printed in the header and footer — OPD on the working days, emergency around the clock — describes the campus at large. A named department’s session is a more specific claim: a particular day, a particular time, a particular consultant in the room. Only the second kind is listed here, and a row that says “ask the desk” means exactly that: the department sits on this campus, and nobody has confirmed its hours for publication.
Fever, sugar and blood pressure
The daily OPD — diabetes, thyroid, hypertension, and the yearly review of the tablets a family stays on.
Session not published — ask the desk
Women, pregnancy and children
Antenatal care, delivery and the scans that go with them, and child care backed by a NICU and a PICU on the same campus.
Session not published — ask the desk

Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Tests and imaging, on this campus
Digital X-ray, ultrasound and colour Doppler, with the report read in the same visit it was taken in.
Ultrasound Mon–Sat 9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 6:00–8:00 PM
When it cannot wait
Around the clock, every day. Nothing in this group is an appointment — it is the reason the other five can be scheduled.
Open 24 hours, every day

How an OPD session actually runs
- Register once. Your file is opened at the desk and the same number carries every visit, report and prescription afterwards.
- Queue against the consultant, not the clock. A session starts at a fixed time; where you land in it depends on how many patients are already booked.
- Tests are ordered, not guessed. If the consultant wants a scan or a lab sample, the room to do it is in the same building — often before you leave.
- Follow-up carries the file. Bring the previous prescription to a review appointment. It is the fastest way to know whether a treatment is working.
Arrive earlier than you think you need to
A new patient takes longer than a review: history, examination and the paperwork a cashless claim needs all happen before the consultation itself. Ten minutes at the desk before your slot protects the appointment you booked — and a late arrival is usually moved to the end of the list rather than the front.
Imaging and laboratory run to their own clock
Ultrasound sits on its own published schedule, and it is the one session worth checking before you travel, because a scan asked for in a consultation is only useful if the machine is open. Pathology and pharmacy are on the same campus, which is why a sample given in the morning can be read in the same visit.
- 3D / 4D / 5D ultrasound
- Colour Doppler studies
- Digital X-ray
- USG-guided FNAC
- Fetal anomaly scan (NT and Level II)
- High-risk pregnancy monitoring
- Obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound
When not to wait for an OPD
Chest pain, breathlessness at rest, sudden weakness on one side, slurred speech, a fit, vomiting blood, an accident, labour, or a fever in a baby under three months — those go to casualty, at any hour, without an appointment. Do not call to check whether it is “serious enough”; coming in and being told it was nothing is the good outcome.
If the department you need shows no session above, call the appointment desk before you travel and we will tell you the earliest one — that is a two-minute call, and it is the difference between a waiting room and a consultation.
