General Hospital Trivandrum - Featured Reviews (441)
The very first place which comes into one's mind if you are sick and need medicine free of cost or in a cost effective way. The government run general hospital. Hospital has its merits and demerits. Huge waiting time and unhygienic surroundings is the biggest drawback. One could find doctors for almost all the specialities over here. The biggest drawback one pharmacy with two/three counters for all the medicine disbursement. People have to stand in queue for hours just to get the medicines. Not enough waiting areas. If you are coming here on a rainy day it's the worst.
General Hospital Thiruvananthapuram was opened in 1865 at Vanchiyoor junction which is a boon for the local population in need of medical treatments. A quite busy hospital during day and night caters a huge population both local and from outside however, the Doctors, Nurses and other hospital staff are dedicated to extend their hands in service of the public 24*7. A staff counter is there for obtaining OP ticket for Government Staff on duty.
Govt services have improved a lot. Even though e health portal is available many people are not aware about its existance and usage. So a long waiting happens in the op ticket counter. If they could keep a separate queue for online registered patients then waiting and unwanted arguments could be easily avoided. Parking with a fee is available. Canteen, labs available. 5rs op ticket. Lab test free. Free medicines which are available in the counter. Experienced and senior doctors. Citizens should start using govt health services in a broader level so that the high amt charged by private sectors will be demolished.
One of the oldest hospital in the city. A combination of old and modern buildings. Almost all imaging facilities are available inside the hospital itself. Having free two-wheeler/four wheeler parking near the entry itself. Enough medical stores and allied facilities are also available outside the campus. Greenery is well protected.

Although the services of very good doctors are there, patients seek treatment here with great difficulty,It is very difficult to seek treatment here due to the lack of advanced technical personnel and the limitations of the old building,It is a hospital of greatest comfort to the poor
Op system not good.
