On arrival of the patient for admission the IPD Registration staff completes the admission formalities and allots the room to the patient. The patient will be escorted to the concerned ward and the Patient Relation Coordinator will orientate the patient to the ward and the facilities available. The Patient will then be checked by the ward doctor – this involves taking a detailed medical history, measuring and recording the vital parameters by the nursing staff and ordering of tests if necessary.
During the patient’s stay in the hospital, he/she will be attended by a team of doctors comprising of medical specialists, assisted by medical officers and resident.

The daily routine in the ward includes activities such as ward rounds by doctors, medication, investigations (if required), meals, visiting hours and bedtime.
