Government hospitals typically offer a wider range of basic specialties and have no restrictions on patient volume. Private hospitals often specialise in specific high-value treatments like cardiac surgery, joint replacement, and cancer care.
On PMJAYHospitals.com, each hospital is clearly tagged as “Public” or “Private (For Profit)” so you can make an informed choice.

This is especially useful for patients who need advanced treatments not available in their home district. Many patients from Karnataka travel to metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, or Chennai for organ transplants, advanced cancer care, and other super-specialty treatments.
Similarly, patients from other states can use their PM-JAY card at any empanelled hospital in Karnataka.
