Patients visiting community health centers (CHCs) and primary health centers (PHCs) in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, are facing significant challenges due to lengthy wait times exacerbated by the summer heat. Vulnerable populations, including elderly individuals, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities, are particularly impacted as they wait for hours for outpatient department (OPD) registration. The Online Registration System (ORS) has not been fully implemented, forcing many centers to rely on manual registration processes, which leads to overcrowded facilities and long queues. Chief Medical Officer Dr. NB Singh stated that efforts are underway to upgrade the Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) to allow for digital appointment booking, which could alleviate some of the pressure on patients. Additionally, a QR code-based registration system is being piloted under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, linking patients to their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) for quicker registration. However, low public awareness and familiarity with this new system have hindered its adoption. Patients are advised to avoid peak hours and stay hydrated while waiting, as many centers lack adequate drinking water and shade.
