PGI Chandigarh to Provide Free Hepatitis Diagnostic Services
PGI Chandigarh is now offering free tests for Hepatitis A, B, C, and E to help patients.
This means people can get checked for these liver problems without paying.
Doctors will recommend the tests, and the hospital will create special categories in its computer system to track these patients.
The free testing is available to both patients who visit the hospital and those who stay there.
This follows guidelines from the Indian government.
Hepatitis can damage the liver, which is important for many body functions, and these tests can help catch and treat these infections early.
PGI Chandigarh will offer free diagnostic services for Hepatitis A, B, C, and E.
The initiative is for both outdoor and indoor patients, regardless of their domicile.
Four new categories will be created in the Hospital Information System (HIS).
Patients will be enrolled under the category by the Medical Records Department (MRD) upon recommendations from treating consultants.
The facility aligns with the NVHCP guidelines of the Government of India.
