Salient features of SGPGI Hospital

The hospital works as a referral hospital and patients are required to bring a referral slip from the referring physician. The referring physicians are requested to indicate the nature of patients' problem, the specialty at the Institute they wish to refer the patient to and the nature of help required from the Institute.

The Institute hospital endeavours to work on an appointment system. Thus, the patients are expected to re-visit the Institute hospital only on appointed days, except in case of an emergency.

Facilities at the Institute hospital are available only on payment and there is no provision for free treatment or investigations.

For blood transfusion, the Institute relies entirely on its own blood bank and expects the patients' family and friends to provide replacement blood donors.
