Bhubaneswar, Feb 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) With the improvement in Covid-19 situation in Odisha, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar will resume its OPD service from February 7, officials said here on Friday.
The Covid cases have come down in the state during the recent past and there has been a demand from various quarters to restart the walk-in OPD service. Hence, this decision was taken, an official said.
All departments of the institutions have been directed to follow the OPD schedule as before. Every department has reserved 4-5 beds in each ward for the new admission cases (suspected Covid cases).

All IPD admissions and OTs will function as before (pre-Covid era). The Covid labour room will also continue to run for a week, they said.
