Medically reviewed by Dr. Nikhil Singh
Last reviewed: 18 Jul 2026
Government Medical College (GMC) Pali, established in 2018, is attached to Shri Bangur Hospital, a roughly 329-bed tertiary care government hospital in Pali, Rajasthan. The hospital runs departments across general medicine, surgery, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and obstetrics and gynaecology, and its OPD reportedly sees more than 800 patients a day, making it the main public referral hospital for Pali district.
As a state government hospital, Bangur Hospital offers care at subsidised, government-approved rates, and it sits within 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 explains how OPD registration works, what to expect in terms of waiting time, what treatment costs, and which departments are available.
Registration and OPD fees at Bangur Hospital, Pali
Government hospital fees change periodically and are not published in full on the college website; confirm exact current charges at the hospital's registration counter.
- OPD registration fee — A nominal registration charge applies at the counter for walk-in patients. The exact current amount is not published online; confirm it at the registration desk during OPD hours.
- OPD timings — Publicly available information places OPD registration and consultation broadly in the morning, around 9 AM to 3 PM on working days; confirm exact department-wise timings at the hospital or medical college office.
- Diagnostics — X-ray, laboratory tests and other diagnostics are charged at government rates. RGHS and Ayushman Bharat 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
- Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) — RGHS covers Ministers, MLAs, All India Services officers, and serving and retired Rajasthan state government employees and their dependents, offering cashless treatment — including OPD medicines and hospitalisation — at empanelled government and private facilities at CGHS package rates. Government hospitals such as Bangur Hospital fall within RGHS's network of empanelled providers within Rajasthan. Register and generate an e-card at rghs.rajasthan.gov.in, or call the RGHS helpline at 181.
- Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY — Eligible families can receive cashless inpatient treatment for a wide range of packages at empanelled hospitals, which typically includes government hospitals such as Bangur Hospital. Check your family's eligibility at pmjay.gov.in or with the hospital's PM-JAY desk.
- CGHS / ECHS — Central government employees, pensioners, and ex-servicemen with valid CGHS or ECHS cards should confirm with the hospital administration whether their scheme is processed on-site, since CGHS wellness centres and ECHS polyclinics are concentrated in larger cities.
Rates shown are as per the Medical Education Department, Government of Rajasthan — GMC Pali page (2026) and are subject to periodic revision. Always verify the latest approved rates on the official source.
How to get an appointment at Bangur Hospital, Pali
OPD registration at Bangur Hospital is primarily counter-based: patients arrive at the hospital's registration desk during OPD hours and register in person for the department they need.
Public information about the hospital does not describe a dedicated online appointment-booking portal separate from the state's general medical education website (medicaleducation.rajasthan.gov.in/mcpali/); check with the hospital or the medical college's administrative office for the latest word on any digital booking option, and otherwise plan to register at the counter.
Bring a government photo ID (Aadhaar, voter card) and, for follow-up visits, previous prescriptions and test reports. If you hold an RGHS, PM-JAY, CGHS, or ECHS card, bring it so staff can route you to the correct scheme counter.
How long it takes to get seen
Bangur Hospital's OPD reportedly handles more than 800 patients a day, so waiting times can be significant, particularly for high-demand departments like general Medicine and Surgery.
Arriving early in the OPD window improves the chance of registering before the day's token allocation fills up.
Patients needing a specialist not available in general OPD are typically referred onward after an initial consultation.
What treatment costs and financial help
As a government tertiary hospital, Bangur Hospital provides outpatient consultations, medicines, and diagnostics at subsidised, government-approved rates that are considerably lower than private facilities in the region.
Patients covered under RGHS (state government employees and pensioners) or Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY can access treatment on a cashless basis for eligible packages, with the hospital billing the relevant scheme directly rather than charging the patient.
Patients who do not hold a scheme card and face financial hardship should approach the hospital's medical superintendent's office to ask about any relief options for low-income patients.
Key departments at Bangur Hospital, Pali
The hospital's core clinical departments include General Medicine, General Surgery, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, and Obstetrics and Gynaecology, consistent with its role as the teaching hospital for GMC Pali's MBBS programme.
As a tertiary referral centre for Pali district, the hospital also runs emergency services around the clock.
Patients unsure which OPD to approach for a new complaint should register in general Medicine or Surgery first; the attending doctor will refer to the right specialty if required.
