Patients visiting the All India Institute of Ayurveda at Sarita Vihar in the national Capital no longer need to stand in long queues to get their token numbers to get the appointments with the doctors. They can now do this conveniently from their homes using the Roojh app, saving valuable time and resources.

An autonomous health institute under the Union Health Ministry, the hospital serves a daily influx of 2000 to 2500 patients who seek benefits from its 42 different OPD services.Previously, due to the lack of an online appointment system, patients had to endure long waits to obtain their tokens.

“In response to this issue, the hospital recently launched the ‘Roojh’ app. The primary objective of this app is to eliminate long waiting periods for patients and simplify the appointment booking process, enabling common patients to easily avail treatment,” said an official from the AIIA.

One can download and install the ‘Roojh’ app from Google Play Store or Apple Store. After installing the app, users need to create a login, for which an OTP will be sent to their mobile.

Through a few simple steps, users can create their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA), ensuring secure storage of their medical records for future use.

Post registration, patients receive a token number, which facilitates easy creation of their OPD card, said the official. The AIIA has also set up a health desk to assist elderly and other patients. The app can be used from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM while on Saturdays, this facility is available from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM.

Dr. (Prof.) Tanuja Nesari, Director of the institute, said, “We are committed to providing excellent services to patients, and this ABHA ID marks a new change that will protect patients from inconveniences during sun, rain, and cold weather. We will be able to serve patients well.”
