How to get an appointment at RTR Memorial Hospital

Registration at RTR Memorial Hospital is handled in person at the hospital's three computerised OPD registration counters — one for men, one for women, and one for senior citizens, DGEHS cardholders, Divyang persons, and hospital staff.

Registration hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 12:00 noon (with OPD consultation running 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), and Saturday, 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM (OPD consultation 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM). Arrive within the registration window with a valid photo ID; for follow-up visits, bring your previous OPD card, prescriptions, and test reports.

Patients eligible for the senior citizen, DGEHS, or Divyang counter should use that dedicated line to avoid the general queues. Check the hospital's official website, rtrmh.delhi.gov.in, for the current OPD schedule and any department-specific updates before travelling.

How long it takes to get seen

RTR Memorial Hospital serves Jaffarpur village and the wider rural South West Delhi catchment, and registration is limited to a defined morning window each day. Arriving close to the 7:30 AM opening of the registration counters improves the chances of being registered and seen within that day's OPD session.

Because OPD consultation hours (8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays) run for a fixed period after registration closes, waiting time between registration and consultation depends on how many patients are ahead of you in your counter's queue and which department you need.

Patients travelling from further within South West Delhi should plan to arrive well before the registration counters open to avoid missing the day's session.

What treatment costs and financial help

According to the hospital's own published information, OPD registration, consultations, medicines, and diet at RTR Memorial Hospital are provided free of charge, with most doctor-prescribed medicines available at the hospital's pharmacy counters at no cost.

Families covered under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY can separately access cashless inpatient and day-care treatment, up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year, at PM-JAY empanelled government hospitals for conditions requiring hospitalisation.

Patients facing costs not covered by the free OPD/medicine provision or by a scheme should approach the hospital's administration for guidance on any further assistance available.
