The Outpatient Department (OPD) services at Katihar Sadar Hospital will remain closed on Sunday due to the weekly holiday. Patients seeking general check-ups and doctor consultations for common ailments will need to wait until Monday. However, individuals with serious or emergency conditions do not need to worry, as the hospital's emergency services will operate 24 hours a day. A duty roster for doctors has been set to ensure continuous care.

According to the hospital administration, doctors will be deployed in three shifts for emergency services on Sunday. From 8 AM to 2 PM, Dr. SP Winakar will treat patients. Dr. Nikesh Kumar will be on duty from 2 PM to 9 PM. Subsequently, Dr. Deepak Kumar will be stationed in the emergency department from 9 PM until 8 AM on Monday.

The hospital management has informed that in severe situations such as road accidents, deliveries, breathing difficulties, unconsciousness, high fever, and chest pain, patients can directly approach the emergency department. Facilities for medication, diagnostics, and primary treatment will be available there.

The hospital administration has urged patients to visit the hospital on Monday for routine check-ups and consultations. In any emergency, patients are encouraged to utilize the 24-hour emergency services without concerns about the OPD closure.
