GMCH Nagpur Geriatric OPD Serves Thousands of Seniors
Imagine a special clinic at a hospital in Nagpur just for older people, like a doctor's office just for grandmas and grandpas!
This clinic, called a geriatric OPD, helps them with things like high blood pressure, diabetes, and feeling achy.
Every day, lots of older folks go to the clinic to get help, medicine, and advice.
The doctors and nurses there make sure the older people get the special care they need to stay healthy and happy.
It's been so successful, with thousands of patients helped in just over a year!
Geriatric OPD at GMCH, Nagpur, has served over 31,899 senior citizens since March 2024.
The OPD provides daily services, unlike the initially suggested weekly model.
Common conditions treated include hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.
The OPD offers check-ups, free medications, and lifestyle counseling.
The initiative aims to offer coordinated care for the physical, mental, and emotional needs of the elderly.
