Surgical Sciences is the largest group in the hospital, running across four modular operation theatres with laminar air flow. It covers routine general surgery through to keyhole, gastrointestinal, bariatric and reconstructive work, with anaesthesiology and intensive care on the same campus.
What this department treats
Most surgical admissions here are planned through the outpatient department, where a consultant assesses the patient and explains what the operation involves before anything is scheduled.

What happens when you arrive
- Start at the general OPD. Between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, pay the consultation charge and you will be seen. That charge includes the medicine prescribed for that day. In an emergency, go straight to accident and emergency instead.
- Bring what you have. Photo identification, any scheme or insurance card, and earlier prescriptions, scans or reports.
- Scheme check before admission. If you hold a Mukhyamantri Amrutum or Ayushman Bharat card, the counter verifies it before admission rather than at discharge.
- Rates are published. The same rate applies to every patient in a category. There is no negotiation at the counter and nothing to be gained by asking.
