PGIMER Chandigarh has announced that the Outpatient Departments (OPDs) of Neurology and Neurosurgery (except Trauma OPD of Neurosurgery) will commence operations from Level-2 of the Advanced Neurosciences Centre, near SBI Bank and Gol Market, with effect from April 20, 2026. These services will cease functioning from the New OPD Block after the afternoon of April 18, 2026, to facilitate the transition.

Underscoring the transition as a focused effort to elevate patient care and clinical efficiency, Prof. Vivek Lal, Director, PGIMER, stated, “This is not merely a relocation, but a transformative step in how we deliver neurological care. By integrating consultation, diagnostics, and advanced interventions within the Advanced Neuroscience Centre, we are creating a patient-centric ecosystem that minimizes delays, enhances clinical outcomes, and ensures a far more seamless experience. 

This move reflects PGIMER’s unwavering commitment to setting new benchmarks in super-specialty healthcare.” The OPD timings and schedule will remain unchanged. Neurology OPDs will function on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, along with a Special Clinic on Thursday (11:30 AM to 1:00 PM) . 

Neurosurgery OPDs* will continue on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with general OPD timings from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Patients and attendants can access the Advanced Neurosciences Centre through Gate No. 3 of PGIMER, Chandigarh. Necessary arrangements have been made to guide visitors and ensure a smooth transition.

All stakeholders are requested to take note of the change and extend their cooperation.
