In continuation of the ongoing strike by outsourced Hospital Attendants, Sanitary Attendants, and Bearers at PGIMER, a comprehensive contingency plan has been implemented to manage essential services.
While Emergency, Trauma, and ICU services will continue as usual, OPD services will be limited to follow-up patients’ registrations from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Monday, 14th October 2024. No new patients’ registrations will be done and online registrations, those already made, stand cancelled. Scheduled chemotherapy in the day care unit will continue as planned.
Additionally, no elective admissions will be made, and elective surgeries have been postponed, with patients being informed accordingly. Hospitals across Chandigarh and neighbouring states are requested not to refer new patients to PGIMER until further notice.
PGIMER is closely monitoring the situation and will duly inform the public of any new developments as they arise.
Further, PGIMER requests the public's cooperation during this challenging period. Public understanding and patience are essential to ensuring the continued care of patients as these extraordinary measures are implemented.
