King George Medical University
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

King George Medical University was formally opened in 1914 with 232 beds. In the years to come, KGMU grew to encompass a Provincial Hygiene Institute, Queen Mary's Hospital for Women and Children, and a TB hospital that was later converted to a TB department. With 39 operation theatres and diverse specialty departments, KGMU is committed to providing quality medical care and excellent medical education to their patients and students. We currently have a pediatric oncology project across three different departments-pediatrics, ophthalmology, and hematology.
