Patients visitng the Common Service Center will have to register and fill the details on the OPD App. The VLE will then receive a 16-digit patient ID and a token.

After receiving the SMS, the VLE will log in with a patient ID. When the Call Now button is activated, the VLE can initiate a video call and help the patient to seek medical advice.

After consultation, the VLE can download the e-prescription sent by the doctor. It will contain the details of medicines, which can be purchased from the medical shop.
