Superintendent of MKCG Hospital, Prof Dr Santosh Mishra said this is an experimental initiative to reduce the waiting time for patients attending OPD.

“The service was launched on Tuesday and the response has been positive. Patients can register their names on the website http://mymkcg.com They will be provided with a token on their arrival at the hospital after which they can directly visit the OPD,” he added.

The system is equipped with an SMS gateway so that the patients can get a confirmation of their registration as a text message, said the MKCG Superintendent.
