Is Kamala Nehru Memorial Hospital a government hospital?
KNMH should not be described as an ordinary Uttar Pradesh government hospital. The hospital identifies itself as a not-for-profit charitable institution run through the Kamala Nehru Memorial Hospital Society.
Charitable hospital
KNMH describes its model as not-for-profit, with affordable and subsidised care for patients who need financial support.
Regional Cancer Centre
The hospital states that it has been recognised by the Government of India as a Regional Cancer Centre since 1994.
Historic institution
The hospital was inaugurated in 1941 and has developed from an obstetrics and gynaecology facility into a multispeciality and cancer-care centre.
Kamla Nehru Hospital Allahabad OPD details
The hospital operates multiple specialty departments, so there is no safe reason to assume one OPD timing applies to every clinic. Confirm the department, doctor day and registration window before travelling.
| OPD question | What is currently verified | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| General hospital-wide OPD timing | A single hospital-wide OPD timetable was not confirmed from the accessible official pages reviewed. | Call EPABX or customer care before a first visit. |
| Obstetrics & Gynaecology OPD | The hospital’s current department page lists Monday–Saturday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM. | Still confirm the doctor and clinic day before travelling. |
| Emergency care | The hospital states that emergency and critical-care services are available 24×7. | Urgent cases should use the emergency route instead of waiting for routine OPD. |
| Doctor availability | Departments are published, but individual doctor availability can change. | Ask for the named department and doctor when calling. |
How to plan an OPD appointment at KNMH
The safest route is to confirm the exact department before travelling, especially for oncology, cardiology, gastroenterology or specialist follow-up.
Use the hospital’s department list or ask customer care which specialty handles the patient’s existing referral or diagnosis.
Use EPABX 0532-2466665–69, direct line 0532-2466670 or customer care 9918802141 to ask about the current OPD day and registration process.
Tell the desk whether this is a first visit or a follow-up and whether the patient already has a hospital file, registration number or previous KNMH prescription.
For specialist visits, carry old prescriptions, discharge summaries, biopsy reports, scans, laboratory reports and referral letters relevant to the visit.
Ask which counter, department or building the patient should report to rather than relying only on the main hospital entrance.
Doctor leave, holidays and department schedules can change, so long-distance patients should confirm close to the travel date.

Emergency and critical care at Kamala Nehru Memorial Hospital
The hospital states that 24×7 emergency and critical care are available. Emergency treatment should be treated separately from routine OPD planning.
Use emergency care for urgent problems
Serious bleeding, severe breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, major injury, severe chest pain, seizures or rapidly worsening symptoms should not wait for a routine outpatient slot.
Call the hospital when safe to do so
The publicly listed general numbers are EPABX 0532-2466665–69, direct 0532-2466670 and customer care 9918802141. Ask for the current emergency route if advance guidance is needed.
Ayushman Bharat, CGHS and subsidised treatment
KNMH’s current website states that it is empanelled with Ayushman Bharat, CGHS and other schemes, and that charitable or subsidised treatment is available for eligible patients.
| Need | What to check | Why confirmation matters |
|---|---|---|
| Ayushman Bharat / PM-JAY | Confirm current empanelment, patient eligibility and whether the required treatment package is covered. | Hospital participation does not mean every service or admission is cashless. |
| CGHS | Ask whether the exact department, procedure and beneficiary category are currently covered. | Referral, authorisation or package conditions may apply. |
| Charitable support | Ask the hospital about current eligibility and documents for subsidised assistance. | Assistance may depend on financial need and hospital policy. |
| Other schemes | Confirm the exact scheme at the billing or scheme desk. | Older online lists may no longer reflect current empanelment. |

Coming from outside Prayagraj? Confirm these five things first
Cancer and super-speciality patients often travel from other parts of Uttar Pradesh. A short verification call can prevent a wasted journey.
Doctor or clinic day
Confirm the department and whether the relevant clinic is running on your travel date.
Registration deadline
Ask when registration closes, not only when consultation usually begins.
Reports needed
Ask whether scans, biopsy blocks/slides, referral papers or previous treatment records are required.
Scheme desk
Confirm scheme eligibility and authorisation requirements before admission or planned treatment.
Reporting location
Ask for the correct department, building or counter so you do not spend extra time at the main entrance.
Use Prayagraj in navigation
Modern map and postal systems generally use Prayagraj even when older records say Allahabad.
