Chandigarh, January 22

Amid a spike in daily Covid cases, the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) has decided to waive registration charges for patients visiting outpatient departments (OPDs) of the institute.

The institute had suspended walk-in OPDs from January 10. The Medical Superintendent, Dr Vipin Kaushal, said, “This is done for the time being till the walk-in OPDs remain suspended. Patients who come from tele-consultation already have their appointments and taking registration fee from them created hurdles. This way, patients can directly go to the doctor and get their check-up done.”

Patients are utilising tele-consultation and they visit the institute with prior appointments if physical evaluation at OPDs is required. The decision to suspend walk-in OPDs was taken to prevent exposure of co-morbid patients to the infection. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
