Medically reviewed by Dr. Nikhil Singh
Last reviewed: 18 Jul 2026
Government Medical College & Super Facility Hospital, Azamgarh — also known as Maharaja Suheldev Medical College — is a Uttar Pradesh state medical college hospital serving Azamgarh district and the surrounding eastern UP region. The attached hospital runs a floor-wise OPD across general medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, ENT, ophthalmology, dental, skin, psychiatric, and TB & chest departments.
Registration is refreshingly transparent here: the hospital publishes a Rs 1 registration-card fee, valid for 15 days of consultation, along with clear registration hours and priority rules. Free investigations are available for BPL cardholders and Ayushman Bharat beneficiaries. This guide walks through how to register, how the OPD floors are organised, and what financial help is available.
Registration and OPD fees at GMC Azamgarh
Fee and validity details below are as published on the hospital's official OPD page; confirm at the counter in case of revision.
- OPD registration card — A one-time registration card costs Rs 1, obtainable at the OPD registration counter, and remains valid for 15 days of consultation. A new card must be obtained if treatment continues beyond that period.
- Registration and OPD hours — Both the registration counter and general OPD run from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM; special clinics also run within this 8:00 AM–2:00 PM window.
- Referred patients — Patients referred from other hospitals must also complete registration at the OPD counter before being seen; there is no separate fast-track for referrals, though urgent cases are prioritised.
- Free investigations for eligible patients — Investigations are provided free of charge for BPL cardholders and Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) beneficiaries, per the hospital's published OPD information.
- Free medicines — Medicines are available free of charge at the hospital's pharmacy counter for OPD and admitted patients, as stated on the hospital's official page.
Rates shown are as per the Government Medical College & Super Facility Hospital, Azamgarh — Official Website (2026) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.
How to get an appointment
Registration at GMC Azamgarh is entirely counter-based: there is no online booking system described on the hospital's official pages. Patients report to the OPD registration counter, pay the Rs 1 registration fee, and receive a card valid for 15 days of consultation for that condition.
The registration counter and OPD both operate from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to urgent cases. Even patients referred from another hospital must complete this same registration step before being seen by a specialist.
The OPD building is organised by floor: Surgery and Orthopaedics are on the Ground floor; Obstetrics & Gynaecology, the Blood Bank, and Radio-diagnosis are on the First floor; Medicine, Paediatrics, Dental, ENT, and Ophthalmology are on the Second floor; and Skin & VD, Psychiatric, and TB & Chest clinics are on the Third floor.
How long it takes to get seen
Because registration and OPD both close at 2:00 PM and patients are seen first-come, first-served, arriving early in the 8:00 AM–2:00 PM window improves the chance of being seen the same day, especially in high-demand departments like Medicine and Surgery.
The hospital does not publish a daily patient cap or an average wait time, so patients should plan for the visit to take a significant part of the morning, factoring in both registration and the queue for consultation on the relevant OPD floor.
What treatment costs and financial help
The Rs 1 registration fee, valid 15 days, makes this one of the more transparently documented low-cost OPD registration processes among Uttar Pradesh government hospitals. In addition, free medicines are dispensed at the hospital pharmacy for OPD and admitted patients.
BPL cardholders and Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) beneficiaries are entitled to free investigations at this hospital, as published on its official OPD page. Beyond diagnostics, PM-JAY beneficiaries should also be able to access cashless inpatient treatment for eligible packages — confirm current coverage with the hospital's Ayushman Bharat desk. CGHS and ECHS beneficiaries should check current referral and eligibility norms with the hospital administration.
Key departments and on-site services
OPD departments span Surgery, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Radio-diagnosis, Medicine, Paediatrics, Dental, ENT, Ophthalmology, Skin & VD, Psychiatric care, and TB & Chest medicine, organised across the four floors of the OPD building along with an in-house Blood Bank.
On-site clinical services include , plaster application, injections, immunisation, minor surgery, and physiotherapy, allowing many minor procedures to be completed during the same OPD visit rather than requiring a separate appointment.
