King George’s Medical University
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

KGMU runs one of the largest government hospital networks in North India. Patients from Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states visit for everything from routine consultations to complex tertiary care, all at government-regulated rates.

The OPD operates Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Registration counters open at 8:30 AM. Walk-in tokens are distributed on a first-come basis, but booking your slot in advance through our helpline ensures you are seen without a long wait.

BPL cardholders are eligible for subsidised or free treatment. Carry a valid BPL card on the day of your visit. For all other patients, consultation and registration fees are far below those of private hospitals.

Originally established as King George’s Medical College (KGMC) in 1911 under the University of Allahabad, the institution was granted full university status by the Government of Uttar Pradesh in 2002, becoming King George’s Medical University.

The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and super-speciality medical programmes across medicine, surgery, dentistry, nursing, and allied health sciences. It is recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and is affiliated with the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
