What is opd?

OPD stands for Outpatient Department, a section of a hospital or medical facility where patients receive medical care without being admitted to the hospital. OPD services typically include consultations with doctors, diagnostic tests, minor procedures, and follow-up care. Patients visit the OPD for various reasons, such as routine check-ups, treatment of minor illnesses or injuries, management of chronic conditions, and monitoring of health conditions. The OPD is usually staffed with a range of medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, technicians, and administrative staff, to provide comprehensive care to patients. OPD services are important for managing healthcare costs, reducing hospital admissions, and providing convenient access to medical care for patients.
