In an attempt to handle the increasing patient load, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Rishikesh has decided to open new Ayushman registration counters on every floor of the hospital building. These counters will have the facility of admission and discharge of Ayushman patients and they will function round the clock. The medical superintendent of AIIMS Rishikesh, Dr Sanjeev Kumar Mittal said that the Ayushman card-holding patients admitted in various wards located on each floor of the hospital block will not have to come to the ground floor for admission, discharge billing and other works. He said that in the trauma building also, an additional Ayushman counter is functioning for trauma patients in the D block of the second floor.
Dr Mittal said that an inquiry and help desk has also been set up by the hospital administration to get various information related to treatment in the hospital. “Any patient or attendant of the patient can get the necessary information by AIIMS inquiry number 8475000144. Apart from this, the ‘Seva-Veer Help Desk’ is also operational on the ground floor of the hospital, near Neuro OPD and in front of the trauma building. Seva-Veer will guide and assist the helpless patients. Trauma medical consultation facility has also been started for trauma patients on the trauma helpline toll-free number 18001804278. On this number, information about the health of the patient admitted to the trauma ward, availability of beds in the trauma centre and medical advice regarding immediate treatment of the injured patient in case of any kind of accident, can be obtained,’’ he said.
