Why Lucknow for PMJAY Treatment
Lucknow is Uttar Pradesh’s primary referral hub and caters to the healthcare needs of India’s most populous state. KGMU and SGPGIMS are among India’s top government medical institutions. The city handles a massive patient volume from across UP — especially for cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, cancer treatment, and organ transplant. The Gomti Nagar and Faizabad Road corridors have major private hospitals. Lucknow is critical for PM-JAY coverage in UP given that many districts in the state have limited hospital infrastructure.

Government vs Private Hospitals in Lucknow
Lucknow has both government and private hospitals empanelled under PM-JAY. Government hospitals like the medical college hospitals offer a wide range of specialties and have high patient volumes. Private hospitals often offer shorter waiting times, modern infrastructure, and specialised expertise in specific areas.
Under PM-JAY, the treatment is completely cashless at both government and private hospitals. The quality of treatment covered under the scheme should be the same — the hospital cannot provide inferior care to PM-JAY patients compared to paying patients.
