Chandigarh, : In a move aimed at enhancing patient convenience and streamlining hospital navigation, the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh is set to launch ‘Margdarshan’, a dedicated mobile application designed to provide seamless navigation and real-time assistance within the hospital premises.

The ‘Margdarshan’ app is being developed to address common challenges faced by patients and visitors in navigating large hospital campuses. The platform will offer digital wayfinding, department locators, appointment guidance, and real-time information on services, enabling users to easily access required facilities without confusion or delays.

According to institute officials, the app will significantly improve patient experience by reducing waiting times, minimizing dependency on manual assistance, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. It is particularly expected to benefit first-time visitors and patients who often face difficulties locating departments, diagnostic centers, and service points within the expansive campus.

The initiative aligns with PGIMER’s broader focus on digital transformation and patient-centric healthcare delivery, leveraging technology to improve accessibility, efficiency, and service quality. The app is also expected to support hospital staff by optimizing patient flow and reducing administrative burden.

Experts believe that such digital navigation tools can play a critical role in improving healthcare delivery in large institutions, where efficient movement of patients and timely access to services are essential for better outcomes.

With the launch of ‘Margdarshan’, PGI Chandigarh aims to set a benchmark in adopting technology-driven solutions to enhance hospital management and patient satisfaction, reinforcing its commitment to innovation in public healthcare.
