What a High-Trust Medical Centre Listing Must Include
The practical verification standard we use for hospital, clinic and diagnostic centre pages in India.
If you have chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding, severe allergic reaction, poisoning, loss of consciousness, suicidal thoughts, pregnancy emergency, or any life-threatening condition, do not rely on this website. Call India emergency services such as 112/108 where available, go to the nearest emergency department, or contact a qualified doctor immediately.

Medical Centre Listing Fields That Actually Matter
A useful medical-centre profile should not be only 300 words of generic text. It should answer real patient questions: where is it, whom to call, which doctor or department is available, what documents to carry, whether appointments are needed, whether emergency services exist, what fees may apply and what to confirm before travelling.
Main reception, appointment desk, emergency number where public and verified.
Full address, landmark, city, state, pin code, branch confusion and map cross-check.
OPD hours, emergency availability, holiday notes and confirm-before-visit warning.
Doctor names, specialities, registration-check guidance and availability notes.
Consultation fee range, payment modes, insurance/cashless confirmation and extra charges.
ID proof, old reports, prescriptions, referral letter, insurance card and ABHA details if used.
Phone Number Verification Standard
- Prefer official centre website, appointment page or publicly listed hospital contact page.
- Cross-check with public map listing or trusted directory where possible.
- Do not publish random WhatsApp numbers unless clearly official.
- Clearly separate emergency number, appointment number, reception and ambulance contact if available.
- Remove or update numbers quickly when users report wrong contact details.
Address and Map Standard
Addresses should be written in a way an Indian user can use: building name, road, landmark, locality, city, state and PIN code where available. When multiple branches have similar names, the page should warn users to confirm the branch before booking.
Departments, Facilities and Services
We avoid making treatment claims like “best heart hospital” without strong evidence. Instead, we list practical service categories: general medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, ENT, dental, emergency, diagnostics, ICU, pharmacy, blood bank or ambulance only when a reliable source supports it.
Insurance, Cashless and Government Scheme Notes
Insurance panels, cashless networks, Ayushman Bharat/PM-JAY eligibility, CGHS/ESIS empanelment and corporate tie-ups can change. Pages should instruct users to confirm with the hospital billing desk and their insurer before admission or procedure.
Quality and Trust Signals
| Signal | Meaning | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| NABH accreditation | Quality/accreditation signal for healthcare organisations. | Not every good clinic is NABH; directory may be incomplete during migration. |
| NMC registration | Important for checking allopathic doctor registration. | Doctor details may need state-register confirmation. |
| Official hospital website | Best centre-owned source for appointment and department details. | Can still be outdated. |
| Recent public reviews | May show patient experience patterns. | Reviews are subjective and can be fake or outdated. |
A listing should help the patient call, confirm and visit safely
We focus on details that reduce wasted visits and unsafe assumptions.
