As a Rajasthan state government hospital, DB Hospital provides care at subsidised, government-approved rates and is part of the network that accepts the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) for state employees and pensioners, alongside Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY for eligible families. This guide covers how to register for OPD, expected waiting times, treatment costs, and department options.

How to get an appointment at DB Hospital, Churu

No dedicated online appointment portal specific to DB Hospital was found in publicly available sources beyond the state's general medical education website (medicaleducation.rajasthan.gov.in/mcchuru/); check with the hospital's administrative office for any newer digital booking option.
Bring a government photo ID and, for follow-up visits, previous prescriptions and test reports. Carry any RGHS, PM-JAY, CGHS, or ECHS card you hold.
How long it takes to get seen
As the principal government hospital for Churu district, DB Hospital's OPD can see substantial patient volumes, particularly in Medicine, Surgery, and Orthopaedics.
Arriving early during OPD hours improves the likelihood of being seen the same day.
Patients needing specialist care beyond general OPD are typically referred onward from the general department.
What treatment costs and financial help
As a government tertiary hospital, DB Hospital provides OPD consultations, medicines, and diagnostics — including CT scans on-site — at subsidised, government-approved rates.
RGHS beneficiaries (Rajasthan government employees and pensioners) and PM-JAY-enrolled families can access cashless treatment for eligible packages, with the hospital billing the scheme directly.
Patients without scheme coverage who face financial hardship should approach the hospital's medical superintendent's office to enquire about relief options.
