PGIMER Shifts Neurology and Neurosurgery OPDs to Advanced Neuroscience Centre from April 20

Starting April 20, PGIMER's neurology and neurosurgery outpatient departments (OPDs) will operate from the newly constructed Advanced Neuroscience Centre near Gol Market, accessible via Gate No. 3. This 300-bed facility, built at a cost of ₹490 crore, aims to reduce congestion at the New OPD building, which currently serves over 1,000 neurology and neurosurgery patients daily. OPD schedules and timings remain unchanged, with neurology clinics on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and a special Thursday session, and neurosurgery clinics on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The new centre will be formally inaugurated by Union Health Minister JP Nadda on April 30.
