THE Aluva-based Federal Bank, in association with the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), has launched online registration system for its customers to avail themselves of the health services provided by AIMS.

The service - FED+Amrita - is facilitated for the first time in the country by a bank for the convenience of its customers.

The service is seamlessly integrated with the systems at AIMS and the bank's Internet banking facility enabling a customer to select and register for any of the health service packages. Payment for this advance registration will automatically be charged from the customers account with the bank.

Mr M. Venugoplan, Chairman of the bank, said that the new online facility would be of great convenience to customers, especially the NRIs, as they could fix appointments and health checkups with AIMS from anywhere in the world.

This facility offers the customer confirmed booking and priority in fixing appointments on desired dates in AIMS for comprehensive health screening. To ensure this, he said, the hospital has set apart a fixed number of daily slots under each package exclusively for the customers of the bank for online booking through FED+.
