Last reviewed: 18 Jul 2026
Government Medical College (GMC) Dungarpur, established in 2018, is attached to a general hospital on Hospital Road in Dungarpur town, which serves as the main public tertiary care facility for Dungarpur district. The hospital's OPD reportedly sees more than 800 patients a day, reflecting its role as the principal referral point for the district's government healthcare.
As a Rajasthan state government hospital, it offers care at subsidised, government-approved rates, and accepts the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) for state employees and pensioners as well as Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY for eligible families. This guide explains OPD registration, expected waiting times, treatment costs, and department options.
Registration and OPD fees at the GMC Dungarpur hospital
- OPD registration fee — A nominal charge applies at the registration counter for walk-in patients; the exact current amount is not published online, so confirm it at the counter.
- OPD volume — Publicly available figures put the hospital's daily OPD footfall at more than 800 patients — a useful planning reference for how early to arrive.
- Diagnostics — Laboratory tests and X-rays are charged at government rates. RGHS and PM-JAY beneficiaries may have eligible tests covered as part of a package; verify at the relevant scheme counter.
Government schemes that help cover treatment

Rates shown are as per the Medical Education Department, Government of Rajasthan — GMC Dungarpur page (2026) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.
How to get an appointment
OPD registration is counter-based: patients register in person at the hospital's OPD desk for the department they need.
No dedicated online appointment portal specific to this hospital was found in publicly available sources beyond the state's general medical education website (medicaleducation.rajasthan.gov.in/mcdungarpur/); check with the hospital administration for the current option.
Bring a government photo ID and, for follow-up visits, previous prescriptions and reports. Carry any RGHS, PM-JAY, CGHS, or ECHS card you hold.
How long it takes to get seen
With daily OPD footfall reported at more than 800 patients, arriving early in the OPD window improves the chance of being seen the same day.
Waiting time between registration and consultation can extend over the morning on busy days, especially in high-demand departments.
Patients needing specialist care are typically referred onward after an initial general consultation.
What treatment costs and financial help
As a government tertiary hospital, it provides OPD consultations, medicines, and diagnostics at subsidised, government-approved rates.
RGHS beneficiaries and PM-JAY-enrolled families can access cashless treatment for eligible packages, with the hospital billing the scheme directly.
Patients without scheme coverage facing financial hardship should approach the hospital's medical superintendent's office to enquire about relief options.
Key departments
As the teaching hospital for GMC Dungarpur's MBBS programme, the hospital runs general OPD departments across core specialties including Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, and Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Round-the-clock emergency services are available given the hospital's role as the district's main referral centre.
Patients unsure which department applies to a new complaint should register in general Medicine or Surgery first for onward referral.
