Very old hospital in shimla. Caters to medical needs of local resident. For general treatment of diseases. Bit crowded
The hospital was proposed by Lord Ripon, former viceroy of India and its construction began in 1882. It was opened at 14 May 1885 by Lord Duffrin. The hospital building was designed by Henry Irvin and it is one of the historical landmarks in Shimla.

Young doctor's rolling their eyes at patients..like really we aren't your interns.. conduct yourself like a Class I Government servant - staff at Eye OPD. Behave yourself!
I went to this hospital today for my Covid vaccination. It was in the old building, seen in the attached photo. I think the little parking space that there is at the hospital is only for hospital staff, so I would recommend parking one’s car at the multi-level car park near the tourist lift and walking to the hospital; it is just an eight-minute walk. It is very surprising and disappointing to note that the hospital doesn’t have a website, as far as I am aware, which is ridiculous in today’s age. A well-designed website with all the necessary information which a visitor might seek is much-needed.
No one update on covid report Not picking up the call Rude staff behaviour
