Online Registration on the PGI portal saves a lot of time for patients. This article explains the Pre Registration process and OPD appointment.
In order to get treatment in PGI Chandigarh, it is important to get registered first. Once your record is added to the system, the whole process becomes very easy. Let’s focus on the registration process.
PGI Registration
Every registered patient is given the Central Registration number of PGIMER. Using this unique number, records of the patient can be maintained easily.
Who can Register Online
Any patient (from any state) who is coming to PGI for the first time is eligible to utilize the online pre-registration facility to avail of the OPD Card and Central registration number.
The benefit of online Pre-registration will only be given if you are planning to get treatment under any of the below-given departments.
