SGPGI OPD Appointment: Online Registration, Timing & Patient Portal Guide

About SGPGI, Lucknow

The Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, known as SGPGI or SGPGIMS, is one of India's most respected government super speciality and tertiary care institutes. Set up under a State Legislature Act, it sits on Raebareli Road (PMSSY Road) in Lucknow and runs more than 30 specialised departments, with strengths in fields like cardiology, neurology, nephrology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and oncology.

Because it is a referral and super speciality institute rather than a walk-in general hospital, most OPD visits here work on an appointment basis. SGPGI was an early adopter of hospital information systems in India, and today it offers a full online patient portal for OPD registration, appointments, reports and records.

SGPGI OPD Timing

OPD runs on working days, and registration is handled in the morning. Since it is a referral institute, follow-up and appointment based visits are the norm.

Each department runs on set weekly days for new and follow-up patients. Old patients are usually asked to come with a prior appointment, so check the department schedule on the portal before travelling.

SGPGI OPD Online Registration

Registration and appointments are done through the official patient portal at sgpgims.in. First time visitors complete a New Registration to get a reference number and a permanent UHID, which is then used for every future login and visit.
