Banaras Hindu University has posted an outpatient timetable for Sir Sunderlal Hospital, giving patients in Varanasi a department-wise guide to clinic days and selected specialist timings. The notice appeared on the university website on 6 October. Its modern-medicine section covers Monday to Saturday and includes separate entries for specialist clinics that do not follow their parent department’s routine schedule.
The dates inside the document need attention. The modern-medicine roster is dated 23 September 2026, while the Indian-medicine section carries 4 September 2025. The October posting should therefore not be read as evidence that every entry was revised this month. BHU’s official notice links the complete six-page timetable.
Specialist clinics have separate hours
The general-surgery super-speciality clinics are listed from 11 am to 2 pm on weekdays. Surgical gastroenterology appears on Monday and Thursday. Tuesday is assigned to minimal-access surgery, Wednesday to vascular surgery and Friday to endocrine surgery. Saturday is marked with no turn for this particular specialist-clinic row, although general surgery has its own separate Saturday roster.
Urology also has two different entries. The routine department roster lists Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Its specialist clinics are scheduled on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with individual time bands. A patient looking only at the general urology row could miss those separate sessions.
On Tuesday, the transplant clinic is listed from 9 am to noon and the uro-oncology clinic from noon to 3 pm. Wednesday’s male-infertility and andrology clinic runs from noon to 3 pm. On Friday, neuro-urology is listed from 9 am to noon, followed by female urology from noon to 3 pm. These hours belong to the named clinics, rather than to all hospital outpatient services.
The geriatric-clinic row includes sessions throughout Monday to Saturday. Within it, Tuesday is identified as an arthritis clinic and Friday as a fall and frailty clinic. The liver clinic has a Monday entry, whereas the broader gastroenterology roster lists consultants across the six-day week.
Check the clinic as well as the department
For the pain clinic, the listed days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Rheumatology is shown on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. These are distinct rows in the timetable, with different consultant assignments; their names should not be treated as interchangeable when checking an existing appointment.
Haematology appears on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. The separate haemophilia clinic is listed on Wednesday and Saturday. The wound clinic has entries on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Blank or no-turn entries in a particular row describe that clinic’s roster and do not establish that the entire hospital is closed that day.
The paediatric-medicine specialist row gives Monday to neurology and genetics, Tuesday and Saturday to neuro-psychiatry, Wednesday to haematology, Thursday to nephrology and Friday to respiratory care. The general paediatric-medicine department has another row with its own consultant assignments across Monday to Saturday.
Some consultant listings depend on which week of the month it is. Gastroenterology divides Saturdays into the first and third, second and fourth, and fifth Saturday. Cardiology has a Friday rotation and a separate Saturday rotation. General surgery also distributes Saturday duties across the month. Anyone checking a named consultant needs the numbered occurrence of the weekday as well as the day itself.
The modern-medicine section runs across the first four pages and numbers 33 department or clinic entries. It also lists services including general medicine, gynaecology, dermatology, neurology, neurosurgery, endocrinology and nephrology. The final two pages contain the separately dated Indian-medicine roster, with OPD numbers and further speciality entries.
Registration details need a separate check
The PDF is a duty and clinic timetable. It does not set out a hospital-wide registration opening time or closing time, consultation charges, referral requirements or appointment availability. Its selected clinic timings cannot be used to infer when every registration counter operates. Patients arranging a visit should confirm those practical details with the hospital or the department concerned.
Where an existing appointment or follow-up instruction appears to differ from a timetable entry, the treating department is the appropriate place to clarify it. The published roster does not establish whether an individual consultant is on leave, or whether a holiday arrangement changes a particular session.
Earlier Dalimss News reports have covered the introduction of hospital Wi-Fi and the Kashi Plus hospital-services app. For the timetable itself, readers should use the document linked by BHU and check for any later departmental notice before travelling.
