OUT PATIENT DEPARTMENT
Registration & Assessment Section
Upon arrival, all patients complete the registration
process for a nominal fee.
Thereafter, the medical officer assesses each patient’s health needs. If a specialist is required, the Social Welfare Officers (SWOs) evaluate the patient’s socioeconomic status to understand their ability to pay for further treatment. Patients are categorized into five categories (A to E) based upon their financial circumstances. Category E patients receive treatment at no cost whereas other patients receive substantial concessions.
Those patients who are treated by the medical officer without being categorized are also included in Category E patients. PSRD employees and school students also receive free treatment

Home Visits
At times, it is essential for the social welfare officers to visit patients’ homes to accurately assess their socio-economic status. This enables them to verify information provided by patients and gain a better understanding of their living conditions, family dynamics, and overall circumstances.
Assistance Fund
All patients are given a 10% discount on medicines from our pharmacy. However, most needy and deserving patients are provided medicine at a 50% discount rate as determined by the SWOs.
Counselling and Guidance
The SWOs offer moral and psychological guidance to patients to resolve their problems. Patients are actively encouraged to pursue employment to support their families. Those with the potential to initiate small businesses are referred to the Vocational Rehabilitation Centre, while individuals with minor ailments are advised to consider joining vocational training, including computer training.
ODP clinic
Patients receive thorough examinations from our skilled doctors, who provide appropriate treatment. Many patients have been successfully treated within the OPD. For those requiring specialized care, referrals are made to the relevant departments to ensure they receive the necessary treatment.
