(General, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Surgical Oncology and Urology), Psychiatry, Cardiology, Neurology and Pathology Departments.


There are also separate Outpatients Department and a new Surgical Emergency & Trauma Centre. The total number of beds are 2200 with a bed occupancy rate of 90-100%. The annual outpatient attendance is about 400,000 and the indoor admissions number about 45,000/year. The hospital provides speciality services in all branches of medicine. Patients are attended to and admissions are made round the clock. This is a Medical University hospital where all medical, surgical and nursing care was provided free of cost. However, charges were introduced in August 2000. Patients now have to pay a nominal charge for admission to hospital and for investigations and procedures done here. In addition, patients may have to buy drugs and disposables as the hospital budget does not allow for all medicines to be supplied free to the patients. All the faculty members of the clinical departments of King George Medical University are attached to the hospital as visiting consultants. Besides, the hospital has its own full time staff - administrative and technical. Thus the hospital is managed by some 250 Consultants, 500 Resident Doctors, 400 nurses, 63 Pharmacists, 100 technical & paramedical, 50 clerical and 1000 ancillary (Class IV) staff.
