10. Notable regional speciality centres (oncology, cardiac, maternal & child)

Beyond the larger teaching hospitals and multi‑speciality centres, Uttar Pradesh has several high‑quality regional speciality centres focused on cancer, cardiac interventions and maternal‑child health (for example, dedicated cancer centres and transplant units at private and some government hospitals). For specific high‑complexity diseases — complex oncology, paediatric cardiac surgery, specialised transplant work — these focused centres often represent the most appropriate referral endpoint.

•When to choose: refer to specialist centres when you need concentrated disease‑specific expertise, dedicated tumour boards, paediatric cardiac programmes or transplant teams.

•Practical checklist when contacting any of the hospitals above: confirm branch‑level accreditation (NABH/NABL), ICU and transplant lists if relevant, expected wait times for outpatient appointments or surgery, whether your health insurance or travel insurance will be accepted, and the names of senior consultants who will manage your care.

Choosing Top Hospitals in Uttar Pradesh: 4 practical factors

1 • Type of care needed: 

Match the hospital to clinical complexity. For extremely complex, high‑risk or research‑oriented care (solid‑organ transplants, advanced neurosurgery, paediatric cardiac surgery or rare procedures) prefer government teaching institutes such as SGPGIMS or KGMU, or large private tertiary centres (Medanta, Fortis, Apollo) that run dedicated speciality programmes and multidisciplinary teams.

2 • Budget, insurance & access: 

Government hospitals are generally more affordable but busier; private hospitals cost more and may offer faster admissions, private rooms and concierge services. Before travel, check whether your health insurance covers the chosen hospital and whether pre‑authorisation or travel insurance is required.

3 • Location & travel time: 

Use nearer facilities when time is critical — Noida/Greater Noida hospitals are convenient for western UP and NCR residents; Lucknow and Varanasi host the state’s main teaching hospitals for central and eastern regions respectively. Consider transport time for post‑op follow‑up and whether the hospital offers the specific outpatient services you need locally.

4 • Accreditation, technology & specialist availability: 

Confirm branch‑level NABH / NABL accreditation and the availability of required procedures or technology (robotic surgery, PET‑CT, Gamma Knife or transplant programmes). Ask for the name of the consultant who will manage your case and whether a multidisciplinary tumour board or specialist team will review complex cases.

What to check before you go (short checklist): current outpatient appointment process; estimated costs or package; ICU/bed availability for planned admissions; lead consultant name; insurance acceptance and pre‑auth process; travel insurance if travelling from outside the region.
