IGMH opens flu clinic for fever and flu cases

The main government hospital, Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) has opened a dedicated flu clinic at the hospital to treat patients presenting with fever and flu.

The flu clinic has been established amidst an increase in reports of communicable diseases.

According to IGMH, services provided at the flu clinic include doctor consultations and blood sample collection.

The flu clinic is located in Consultation Room 10 at IGMH and will be open daily from 10:00am to 22:00pm.

To seek the services of the flu clinic, the patient must first visit the ER triage and take a token number from Queuebee. The triage officials will examine the patient and then instruct them whether they need to go to the flu clinic or the ER.

IGMH has shared a map of where the flu clinic is located, explaining how to get there.
