Lady Hardinge Medical College

What Lady Hardinge Medical College does

Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) is a Central Government medical college and tertiary care hospital complex in New Delhi, India, founded in 1914 and operated under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) through the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). It comprises Lady Hardinge Medical College, the 877-bed Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital (SSKH), the 377-bed Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital (KSCH) including an 84-bed Neonatal wing (the largest in Delhi), and a College of Nursing. The institution serves medical and nursing students (200 MBBS intake, 142 PG candidates, super-specialty seats in MCh Pediatric Surgery and DM Neonatology), patients requiring tertiary and specialized pediatric and maternal care, and the medical research community through its Institutional Research Cell and CDSCO/DHR-registered Ethics Committee.

Its technology and product surface consists of conventional digital health and administrative infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms: an Online Appointment Booking system, an ERP portal for internal administration, ABHA-aligned digital health records, NORCET-based nursing recruitment systems, and integrations with national healthcare platforms (MCTS, Nikshay, HMIS) and procurement (GeM). The institution is currently rolling out Project SARATHI, a volunteer-led patient assistance programme, with planned integration into the MY Bharat platform and ABHA. Digital services are primarily oriented toward operational efficiency and national programme compliance.

LHMC's revenue model is government funding rather than commercial monetization. The institution is funded by MoHFW budgetary allocations and delivers patient care services that are largely free or subsidized through schemes such as CGHS, with medical education fees regulated by central government norms. Customer segments span female medical students, postgraduate and super-specialty trainees, nursing students, and patients seeking tertiary, obstetric, gynecological, and pediatric care, with no commercial customer concentration. A Comprehensive Redevelopment Plan approved by DGHS is the principal forward-looking capacity initiative.
