Every CGHS-empanelled facility, in one place you can actually use.
A free and open directory of every hospital, clinic, eye centre, and diagnostic centre empanelled under the Central Government Health Scheme, and the CGHS Wellness Centres that refer you to them. Built from the official CGHS records and kept current.
What is in the directory
Where the data comes from, and why you can trust it
The official CGHS portal is the source of truth. This directory does not invent anything: it re-presents the official records in a form you can search, map, and read on a phone.
From the official source
Every record is drawn from the official CGHS portal (cghs.mohfw.gov.in). Empanelment status, addresses, and specialities come directly from there.
Cleaned and mapped
Names, addresses, and phone numbers are cleaned for consistency and geocoded, so every facility appears in the right place on the map.
Kept current
The dataset is refreshed regularly from official sources, with a last-verified date on the homepage. Anyone can report something that looks wrong.
About the scheme
The Central Government Health Scheme has provided medical care to central government employees and pensioners for over six decades. Run by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, it covers roughly 42 lakh beneficiaries and spans all four pillars of India’s democratic setup: the Legislature, Judiciary, Executive, and Press.
- Systems of medicine
- Care is provided through Allopathic and Homoeopathic systems, and the Indian systems of medicine under AYUSH: Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and Yoga.
- CGHS vs ECHS
- CGHS is for central government civilian employees and pensioners. ECHS (Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme) is for retired armed forces personnel. Each maintains a separate panel of empanelled hospitals.
- Who can use it
- Serving and retired central government employees, Members of Parliament, Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, freedom fighters, PIB-accredited journalists, and their eligible dependents. Ward entitlement and contribution depend on pay scale or pension.
- Wellness centres
- CGHS Wellness Centres, formerly called dispensaries, are CGHS-run OPD clinics. Beneficiaries collect medicines, get basic tests, and obtain the referral they need before planned treatment at an empanelled facility.
- Card and referral
- A valid CGHS card (plastic or e-card) is presented at empanelled facilities for cashless treatment. For planned treatment, obtain a referral from your designated wellness centre first; emergencies need none.
