Your morning OPD at a rural Primary Health Centre sees 60 patients — diagnosing a malaria case, managing a hypertensive emergency, suturing a farm worker's laceration, and counselling a new mother on breastfeeding. Afternoons involve immunisation sessions for infants, reviewing lab results for a patient with suspected TB, completing HMIS data entry, and participating in a village health outreach camp with an ASHA worker.
