Gradual spike in non-COVID treatment, outpatient visits

Gandhi Hospital continues to attend only coronavirus cases
With the COVID-19 cases in Telangana on a steady decline, people seem to be stepping out of their homes to get a personal check-up for non-COVID health issues. Since a majority of the government and private hospitals were flooded with COVID-19 patients, people had, until now, put off hospital visits for other ailments and opted for virtual consultations with doctors. Though the non-COVID out-patient (OP) and in-patient (IP) numbers are nowhere close to the usual figures recorded in pre-pandemic times, there is a noted increase since the peak infection period. And the rush is being seen at both both government and private hospitals. In the government sector, Gandhi Hospital and Osmania General Hospital (OGH) are tertiary-care facilities where specialist and super specialist doctors offer consultations. During the first and second wave, Gandhi Hospital was turned into an exclusive COVID treatment facility and continues to be so even now.
