10 specialties run day to day at the Israna campus, with emergency, intensive care, operation theatres, digital imaging, pathology and pharmacy on the same site rather than referred out. They are listed below the way a family looks for them — by what is wrong, not by the name on the door plate.
Fever, sugar and blood pressure
The daily OPD — diabetes, thyroid, hypertension, and the yearly review of the tablets a family stays on.
Full range of internal medicine, including diabetes care
Women, pregnancy and children
Antenatal care, delivery and the scans that go with them, and child care backed by a NICU and a PICU on the same campus.
Pregnancy and delivery, high-risk obstetric and reproductive medicine care
Child care backed by a NICU and a paediatric ICU
Bones, joints and rehabilitation
Fracture and joint surgery, then the physiotherapy that decides how much movement comes back.
Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement
Bone and joint surgery, fracture care and joint replacement
Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Back, neck, shoulder, knee and sports problems, and rehabilitation after an operation
Surgery and eye care
Surgery in the hospital’s modular operation theatres, and eye examinations and vision care.
General and specialised surgery in modular operation theatres
Eye examinations, vision checks and care for eye complaints
Tests and imaging, on this campus
Digital X-ray, ultrasound and colour Doppler, with the report read in the same visit it was taken in.

When it cannot wait
Around the clock, every day. Nothing in this group is an appointment — it is the reason the other five can be scheduled.
24×7 accident and trauma care, emergency admissions and referrals
Multi-bed intensive care with ventilator support
Which department do you need?
If the diagnosis is already known, go to the department that manages it. If it is not — and that is most of medicine — start with Internal Medicine, which is where unexplained fever, breathlessness, weakness, diabetes and blood pressure are worked up, and let the consultant route you. Surgical and orthopaedic problems usually declare themselves; a surgeon can see you in OPD and decide about a theatre slot. Chest pain or breathlessness at rest is not a routing question — it is the emergency list at the bottom of this page.
- Known disease, routine review — book that specialty’s OPD day and bring the current prescription and the previous reports.
- New or unexplained symptom — Internal Medicine first, unless it is one of the emergencies at the bottom of this page.
- A report already in hand — a report does not need a fresh OPD to be shown; ask the desk which session is for follow-ups.
- Getting worse despite treatment — that is a same-day problem, not a next-available-slot problem.
- Two departments at once — common after sixty: a heart and a kidney in the same family. Book the one that brought you, and the consultant will ask for the other into the room.
What each department page tells you
Every specialty page on this site is built the same way, so a second department takes a minute to read rather than another scroll: what the department sees, what happens in the first visit, the tests and procedures that are done on this campus, the session — and the point at which an OPD slot is the wrong answer and casualty is the right one.
Before you come
- Carry every report, film and prescription you already have. A repeat test costs money and time, and a previous scan is often the most useful thing on the desk.
- If you are using cashless cover, carry the scheme card and photo ID for the patient and for whoever accompanies them.
- For diabetes or lipid testing, ask the laboratory whether the sample needs fasting before you change what you are taking.
- Note the date a symptom started. “Three weeks, after a fever” is a diagnosis in progress; “for some time” is not.
On the campus whatever the department
Casualty and emergency run around the clock; the operation theatres, ICU, imaging, laboratory and pharmacy are in the same building, which is why a scan asked for in a consultation is often finished the same day.
Casualty & Emergency
Open around the clock, with oxygen and ventilator support behind it
Pathology
In-house laboratory, sampling on the same visit as the consultation
Physiotherapy
A consultant-led department, not a room in a corner — see the conditions treated
Pharmacy
R.R. Medicose on the ground floor, so a discharge prescription is filled in the building
Chest pain, breathlessness at rest, sudden weakness or slurred speech, a fit, vomiting blood, an accident, labour, or a fever in a baby under three months — those go to casualty at any hour, without an appointment and without a fee at the door.
If the specialty you need is missing from the list above, the hospital does not run it. Say what you need when you call and the desk will tell you who does — that answer is given every day on the phone, and it is more useful to a family than a department page that pretends.
