KP Teaching Hospitals OPD Timings: 7 MTI Hospitals Compared, With Evening Clinics and Phone Numbers (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)

We read the official websites of seven of KP's Medical Teaching Institutions (MTIs) on 9 November 2026 and put their OPD hours, evening clinic hours and phone numbers side by side. An MTI is a public teaching hospital run by its own board under the KP Medical Teaching Institutions law. Each one sets its own OPD days, so a patient who travels from Swat to Peshawar on the wrong day often goes home unseen.

KP teaching hospital OPD timings compared

Three of the seven hospitals publish clock hours for the morning OPD. The others publish only department days and ask you to call. Here is what each site says.

The pattern is clear. Morning OPDs close between 1:00 pm and 4:30 pm, and evening Institution Based Practice (IBP) clinics take over from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm onwards. In IBP you see the hospital's own consultant for a fee set by the hospital.

Phone numbers for KP teaching hospitals

Each number below is the one printed on the hospital's own website on 9 November 2026. Call before a long journey, because units rotate and holidays change the schedule.

The helpline printed on the MTI Bannu website did not look like a real Bannu number when we checked, so we have not listed it. Lady Reading Hospital's website refused our request on 9 November, so it is not in these tables.

Which KP hospital to choose for your problem

Go to the nearest MTI for general medicine, surgery, children and gynae. Go to a specialist centre for heart, burn or kidney care. Peshawar's Hayatabad complex holds HMC, the Burns Centre and the Institute of Kidney Diseases on one site.

• Heart problems: the Peshawar Institute of Cardiology, with a 24-hour cardiac emergency. See our PIC Peshawar guide.
• Burns: the Burns and Plastic Surgery Centre in Hayatabad, with 50 burn beds. See our Burns Centre Peshawar guide.
• Peshawar general care: KTH, with more than 1,000 beds, or HMC. See our KTH OPD page and HMC OPD schedule.
• Mardan and the north: Mardan Medical Complex, 800 beds. See our MMC Mardan timings.
• Swabi: Bacha Khan Medical Complex, 470 beds. See our BKMC Swabi OPD days.
• Bannu and the south: KGN Teaching Hospital. See our KGN Bannu OPD days.
• Hazara: Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad. See our Ayub Teaching Hospital guide.

How to plan a visit to a KP teaching hospital

Check the department's OPD day on the hospital's website, arrive early with your CNIC and old reports, and take an OPD slip. If mornings are hard for you, the evening IBP clinic is the paid alternative.

1. Find your department's OPD day on the hospital's own website.
2. Call the number in the table above to confirm the clinic is sitting that day.
3. Bring your original CNIC, or a child's B-Form, and all old reports.
4. Arrive early and take an OPD slip at the registration counter.
5. If you cannot come in the morning, book the evening IBP clinic instead.

For admitted treatment, check your family's Sehat Card Plus status first in our eligibility guide. The card does not pay for routine OPD visits.

Emergency care at KP teaching hospitals

All seven hospitals run 24-hour emergencies. In an emergency, do not wait for OPD. Go straight to the Accident and Emergency department or call Rescue 1122. KTH says patients should be brought directly to its A and E department.

KTH's daily visiting hours for admitted patients are 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, according to its website. Other hospitals set their own. If you face a problem with care at any of these hospitals, our KP hospital complaint guide explains the route to the KP Healthcare Commission.

Why is Lady Reading Hospital not listed?

Its website refused our request on 9 November 2026, so we could not read its timings at the source. We will add it once we can.

Do I need an appointment for the morning OPD?

Not at the hospitals we checked. You take an OPD slip on the day. Online forms are for the evening IBP clinics.
