A verified hospital enquiry route in Prayagraj
Kamala Nehru Memorial Hospital (KNMH) lists medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and pain and palliative care on its official departments page.
Its published address is 1 Hashimpur Road, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh 211002. The official site lists customer care 9918802141 and EPABX 0532-2466665–69. Use the hospital contact page to confirm the correct clinic, registration process and availability before travelling.
This is one verified route, not a complete list of Prayagraj providers or an endorsement over other hospitals. We have not verified an individual doctor’s current clinic roster, fee or availability, so those details are intentionally not asserted here.
Affiliated option: ZenHeal Cancer Hospital, Prayagraj
For a treatment or written-estimate enquiry, see the official ZenHeal Prayagraj hospital page or call the central team on 99307 09000. The hospital is in George Town, Prayagraj. Confirm the department, appointment availability and any consultation or treatment charges before travelling.
Affiliation disclosure: ZenHeal/ZenOnco is affiliated with Love Heals Cancer. Hospital consultations and treatment are clinical services, separate from LHC NGO guidance. Treatment may involve charges; ask for an estimate and any applicable assistance assessment. This listing is not a promise of free treatment, funding or a booking.
Which cancer specialist should you ask for?
- Medical oncologist: cancer medicines and coordination of drug treatment.
- Surgical oncologist: cancer operations and surgical assessment.
- Radiation oncologist: planning and delivery of radiotherapy.
These are different roles, not interchangeable titles. Ask the hospital which department fits the diagnosis or referral letter; a general doctor or supportive-care practitioner is not automatically an oncologist. See the National Cancer Institute definitions of medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology.
Planning a visit from Kaushambi, Pratapgarh or Bhadohi
Prayagraj’s official geography page identifies Kaushambi, Pratapgarh and Sant Ravidas Nagar (Bhadohi) among its neighbouring districts. If your doctor suggests specialist assessment in Prayagraj, confirm the destination and referral requirements first. These are nearby options for families considering travel—not claims that LHC has branches in those districts.
- Before leaving: ask whether the first visit is a consultation, registration or a planned treatment session. These may have different preparation requirements.
- For repeated visits: ask how many visits are anticipated and whether follow-up can be coordinated with your local treating doctor. The clinical team must decide what is appropriate.
- For a second opinion: ask which records the receiving team needs and whether reports can be reviewed before travel; do not assume remote review is available.
- For a family companion: clarify visitor rules and any accommodation needs before making arrangements.
A short phone script you can use
“मुझे कैंसर की रिपोर्ट दिखानी है। किस विभाग में अपॉइंटमेंट लेना चाहिए? नया पंजीकरण कैसे होगा? कौन-सी रिपोर्ट और पहचान पत्र लाना है? परामर्श की फीस क्या है? आर्थिक सहायता के लिए किस डेस्क से बात करें?”
Ask for the department name and instructions in writing where possible. A phone enquiry is not confirmation of admission, a treatment package or financial approval.
What to keep ready
Collect existing pathology and scan reports, available scan images, past treatment summaries, prescriptions and a medicine list. Bring any referral letter and registration documents the hospital requests. Ask before arranging pathology slides or blocks. Keep a written list of your main concerns and tell the clinic which language you prefer for explanations.
Our first appointment checklist can help organise the visit. The National Cancer Institute’s care-selection guide also explains the importance of appropriate specialist experience, clear communication and questions about care arrangements.
Keep treatment planning and financial help connected—but separate
KNMH’s official site describes free or subsidised care for eligible underprivileged patients. This does not mean every consultation or treatment is free. Ask the hospital which assessments, documents and current programmes apply to your situation.
See our Prayagraj financial-help guide and written cost-estimate checklist. Ask what is included, what may be billed separately, and who can explain an assistance application. Do not stop or postpone treatment on the basis of a web article.
What Love Heals Cancer can help with
Contact Love Heals Cancer if you need help understanding these resources. You can contact the hospitals directly without sending us your details. Love Heals Cancer’s NGO guidance is distinct from consultations or treatment offered through affiliated ZenOnco/ZenHeal services. If you choose a clinical service, ask who will provide it, where, and what fees apply before booking. A support enquiry is not a paid booking, funding approval or treatment recommendation. The independent hospitals listed here are not presented as LHC branches or partners.
