Deendyal Upadhyay Zonal Hospital

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital (DDU) formerly known as Ripon Hospital is a Zonal hospital in Shimla city. It is located in the city center above Old Bus Stand and below Lower Bazaar. Its one entrance is from Ram Bazaar another is from Ganj and downside entrance is near Old Bus Stand. The hospital provides healthcare facilities to the city residents. Latest health and medical facilities can be availed in the hospital. 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.

The worst part of the hospital is the security.. like they don't have any manners how to talk ....like no concern for the patient or the attendent.... Like bruh you are here to help people not to show your aura or something..... Idk but I am really dissatisfied with the security and you would like the faculty to see into this .. and this is not for the first time happening many people before had faced it some say some don't.... So I would like the hospital to recruit those people who atleast knows how to behave

A big, modern hospital departed in several buildings. I was there to receive a rabies vaccination (monkey bite): friendly and helpful staff, almost no waiting times.

Extremely disappointing experience. The hospital staff is not only uncooperative but also biased in how they treat patients. If you have an internal "approach" or personal connection, you are taken straight to the doctor — no waiting, no questions asked. But if you're an ordinary patient, you're made to wait in long lines, no matter how urgent your condition is. This kind of favoritism is completely unacceptable in a healthcare setting. Every patient deserves equal and fair treatment. Sadly, this hospital lacks both professionalism and ethics. I would not recommend it to anyone unless major reforms are made.

I visited this hospital for a personal medical concern, expecting professional care and sensitivity. Unfortunately, the doctor’s behavior was extremely disappointing. Instead of providing proper medical attention, the interaction felt judgmental and unprofessional. I left feeling uncomfortable and disrespected — which is the last thing anyone should feel when seeking medical help. Patients, especially those dealing with sensitive health issues, deserve to be treated with empathy and dignity. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for ethical, respectful, and supportive medical care.

A well  known hospital named, Deen Dayal Upadhaya Hospital is in Shimla in Himachal Pradesh state. All major medical facility are available here. The entire officer and chief doctors as CMO, Sr Medical Officer, Dist. Health Officer, Dist Aids Officer and Leprosy Officer are sitting here for your health response. Facility are good but some of doctors and Junior resident doctor are not behaving properly which is not good sign for doctor's profession.

I visited hospital multiple time Worth to say that all the doctors are very polite they treat patient very nicely........ Dr.sonia Ma'am in medicine OPD is very nice .👏👏👏

The guy sitting in the emergency counter on Sunday on 26 May 2024 didn't want to proceed for doing plastering and wanted as to go away and come back on Monday.When I mentioned this is emergency and I will complain ,he told do what you can and told us to meet the duty doctor. The duty doctor was a nice person doing his studies in the nearby Indira Medical College and Hospital and he readily obliged and did the dressing and plastering. The nurse was not available at 5pm on a Sunday.Am giving 3 stars due to the duty doctor.Hope the employees working in the government hospital pull their weight for the salary drawn and provide service to the society.
