How We Verify Medical Centre Details in India
A source hierarchy for addresses, phone numbers, doctors, fees, schedules, hospital accreditation and patient-guidance content.
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.

How We Use Hospital and Clinic Sources
When a hospital or clinic has an official website, appointment page, verified public profile, brochure or contact page, we treat that as the strongest centre-specific source. However, even official centre pages can become outdated. Therefore appointment timing, consultation fees and doctor availability are always written as confirm-before-visit details.
Doctor Verification Sources
For allopathic doctors, the National Medical Commission and relevant state medical councils are important verification routes. For AYUSH doctors, dental practitioners, nursing or allied health professionals, different councils and authorities may apply. We do not invent registration numbers or credentials.
Fees, Schedules and Appointment Data
Fees and schedules are the most changeable medical-directory data. We prefer official fee pages, appointment desks, public hospital notices or direct public contact references. If exact fees are not confirmed, we use wording like “confirm current fee before visiting” instead of presenting a fixed number.
Consultation fees, emergency charges, procedure rates, room rent, insurance/cashless approval and diagnostic charges may differ by doctor, department, time, patient category and hospital policy.
Video Source Policy
Videos may be used only when they help the user understand location, facilities, appointment process, hospital overview, department explainers or patient education. We prefer official hospital channels, government health channels, recognised medical institutions or reliable local walk-through videos with clear relevance.
When Sources Conflict
If a hospital website, map listing, appointment portal and third-party directory show different data, we do not blindly merge them. We explain uncertainty, prefer official sources, and ask users to call before visiting. If two official pages conflict, the most recent centre-owned page or direct confirmation should control.
Medical data must be source-led
Useful medical pages should show where facts come from and where users must confirm.
