Frequently Asked Questions

According to CGHS guidelines, CGHS Wellness Centres (formerly called CGHS dispensaries) are government-run outpatient facilities where CGHS beneficiaries can get primary healthcare, consultations, and medicines. They serve as the first point of contact — you need a referral from your wellness centre to visit an empanelled hospital for specialized treatment.

There are 415 CGHS empanelled wellness centres across 89 cities in India as of 2026, according to the CGHS portal (cghs.mohfw.gov.in). Delhi has the highest concentration, followed by Mumbai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad.

Wellness centres provide OPD consultations, dispensing of medicines (including Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, and Siddha), referrals to empanelled hospitals, and basic diagnostic services. Some centres also offer specialist consultations on specific days.

Generally no appointment is needed — CGHS wellness centres operate on a walk-in basis during working hours. Carry your CGHS card (plastic card or e-card) when visiting.

Yes. CGHS allows beneficiaries to take consultations and collect medicines from any CGHS wellness centre in India, not only their registered one — useful when travelling or living near a city boundary (for example, Gurgaon residents visiting a South Delhi centre). Your registered centre remains the default for your records and certain approvals.

They are the same facility — CGHS dispensaries were renamed to CGHS Wellness Centres. The services remain unchanged: OPD consultations, medicine dispensing, referrals, and basic diagnostics. The renaming was part of a broader modernization of CGHS terminology.

Your designated wellness centre is assigned based on your residential address at the time of CGHS registration. You can check your CGHS card or contact the CGHS helpline at 1800-208-8900 (toll-free, 24x7) to confirm your designated centre. You may request a transfer to a different wellness centre if you relocate.
