How this service works
Understanding the AIIMS OPD Process: Appointment vs. OPD Token
Quick Summary
Many patients assume that getting an appointment and getting an OPD token/card at AIIMS are the same thing, and that both can be completed on the same day. This is a common misunderstanding. In reality, these are two separate processes, often requiring two separate visits and two separate queues.
Step 1: Taking the Appointment
Before a patient can see a doctor, they must first secure an appointment. This can be done in two ways:
- Online – Appointment slots are available on the AIIMS website/app, but these slots are limited and not guaranteed. Due to high demand, online slots often fill up quickly or may not be available at all.
- Offline – Patients must physically stand in line at the hospital to book an appointment in person.
The Offline Appointment Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Queue Start | Patients begin queuing as early as 12:00 AM–2:00 AM |
| Counter Opening | Counters typically open around 8:30 AM, with token/number distribution starting around 9:00 AM |
| Crowd Size | Often 500–600+ people in line |
| Outcome | Patient receives an appointment date — not an OPD consultation for that same day |
Step 2: Getting the OPD Token/Card
Once the appointment date arrives, the patient must return to AIIMS and stand in a queue again — this time to obtain the OPD token (OPD card).
- Only after receiving the OPD token can the patient proceed to consult the doctor.
- This is a second, independent queue, separate from the appointment queue, and follows a similarly crowded and time-consuming process.
Summary of the Process
| Stage | Purpose | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Appointment Queue | Book a date to visit AIIMS | Appointment for a future date |
| 2. OPD Token Queue | Get token/card on the appointment date | Access to doctor consultation |
Key takeaway: A patient typically needs two separate queue experiences — one for the appointment and one for the OPD token — before they can actually consult the doctor.
How Our Queue-Standing Service Helps
Given how physically demanding and time-consuming this process is, our Priority Queue Assistance service helps patients and their families by standing in line on their behalf.
What We Do
- Queue for Appointments: Our companions arrive early (often in the early hours of the morning) to stand in line for the offline appointment process.
- Queue for OPD Tokens: We also stand in line to help obtain the OPD token/card on the scheduled appointment date.
Important Disclaimer
- Due to heavy crowds and hospital administration processes, we cannot guarantee that an appointment or OPD token will be successfully obtained on any given day.
- Our service is aimed at reducing the physical burden of waiting in line for hours (sometimes starting from 12:00 AM), not at guaranteeing an outcome.
- This is a genuinely difficult and labor-intensive task due to the sheer volume of people — often 500 to 600+ patients queuing before counters even open at 8:30 AM.
