Usually, the OPD is on the ground floor of a hospital. Inside the OPD, there are different sections based on what kind of doctor you need to see. For example, if someone has a bone problem, they’ll go to the Orthopaedics section in the OPD.

• Outpatient: Someone who visits the hospital for a check-up or treatment and goes home the same day.
• Inpatient: Someone who stays in the hospital for one or more nights for treatment.
