How to download

One can download ‘AIIMS Mangalagiri e-Paramarsh’ app from the Google Play Store, choose patient login, and enter their mobile number. Then, they will have to enter a One-Time Password (OTP) to authenticate, and enter patient details for the first time for app-based registration and choose the required department for consultation.

Then, patients can upload documents if any (previous prescriptions, reports, pictures, etc.), enter symptoms/history (optional) and will have to wait for the doctor’s call.

The AIIMS Mangalagiri Central Diagnostic Lab has made a provision of an outreach facility to collect samples (blood/urine) for investigations raised through tele-consultation. Blood/urine tests will be charged as per CGHS rates and this facility is available for patients residing within a radius of 10 km from AIIMS Mangalagiri.
