Who can use Base Hospital Delhi Cantt?
The hospital belongs to the Armed Forces medical system. Public access should therefore not be assumed in the same way as a Delhi Government general hospital or a private hospital.
Serving Armed Forces patients
Serving personnel and other authorised military beneficiaries should use their service medical route, referral instructions and entitled documents.
If you have been referred from another Service medical facility, carry the referral documentation and previous investigation reports.
ECHS beneficiaries
ECHS is designed for eligible ex-servicemen pensioners and their eligible dependants. The official ECHS system uses polyclinics and Service hospitals as part of its healthcare network.
The Delhi Cantt (BHDC) ECHS polyclinic is officially listed c/o Base Hospital Delhi Cantt.
Base Hospital Delhi Cantt OPD: how to plan your visit
A current public department-by-department BHDC OPD timetable was not found in the official sources reviewed for this update. Because military hospital OPD routing can depend on entitlement, referral and specialty, avoid relying on an old third-party timetable.
Know whether you are serving personnel, a dependant, an ECHS beneficiary or another authorised category. This determines which registration and referral route applies.
If your treatment route begins at an ECHS polyclinic or another Service medical facility, carry the referral or specialist advice given there.
Call the hospital or relevant ECHS line and ask for the current clinic day, reporting time, registration point and whether the specialist is available.
Take prescriptions, discharge summaries, investigation reports, imaging discs/films and a current medication list if you are being reviewed for an existing condition.
Security checks, entitlement verification and movement between registration and specialty areas can take time inside a military medical campus.
Follow the hospital’s casualty/emergency instructions or use the national 112 emergency system if immediate emergency assistance is required.
ECHS Polyclinic Delhi Cantt (BHDC) and referral route
The ECHS directory currently lists Delhi Cantt (BHDC) as a polyclinic located c/o Base Hospital Delhi Cantt. This is important because the ECHS polyclinic and Base Hospital are connected in the patient pathway, but they are not the same administrative contact point.
Typical ECHS patient flow
Eligible ECHS beneficiaries normally begin with the relevant polyclinic for primary care and referral decisions.
ECHS policy uses available Service hospital capacity where required and according to the treatment/referral system.
If the required facility, specialist or bed is unavailable in the Service hospital route, referral to an empanelled facility may apply under ECHS rules.
Departments and specialties verified at Base Hospital Delhi Cantt
The current AFMS postgraduate directory confirms training at Base Hospital Delhi Cantt in the specialties below. This verifies that these clinical specialties are represented at the institution, but it does not mean every clinic operates every day or accepts every patient category without referral.
| Specialty verified by AFMS | What a patient should confirm |
|---|---|
| General Medicine | Current OPD day, referral route and reporting counter. |
| General Surgery | Whether consultation, procedure review or post-operative follow-up requires referral. |
| Anaesthesiology | Usually linked to procedures, surgery and peri-operative care rather than a normal walk-in clinic. |
| Paediatrics | Child patient’s entitlement documents and clinic timing. |
| Obstetrics & Gynaecology | Routine OPD versus urgent maternity/gynaecology route. |
| Orthopaedics | Bring previous X-rays, MRI/CT and referral if applicable. |
| Ophthalmology | Clinic day and whether a separate eye appointment route applies. |
| ENT | Current OPD day and referral requirement. |
| Dermatology | Current specialty clinic day. |
| Psychiatry | Clinic location, appointment/referral process and follow-up instructions. |
| Emergency Medicine | Use emergency/casualty route for urgent care rather than routine OPD. |
| Radiodiagnosis | Whether imaging needs a Service hospital requisition/referral and appointment. |
| Pathology | Sample timing, requisition and report-collection route. |
The list above is based on AFMS academic specialty information and should not be treated as a live daily OPD roster.
Emergency care: do not wait for an OPD schedule
For severe chest pain, major injury, heavy bleeding, unconsciousness, stroke symptoms, severe breathing difficulty, seizures or another life-threatening problem, do not wait for routine OPD timing or online registration.
If you are already entitled to military care
Use the Service hospital’s emergency/casualty route according to current military medical instructions. If possible, call the hospital contact line while an attendant prepares entitlement and medical documents.
If immediate emergency response is needed
India’s Emergency Response Support System uses 112 for emergency assistance involving health, police, fire and rescue services.
