Hi there,

If you’ve ever felt lost trying to figure out where to go for quality medical care in Arunachal Pradesh, you’re not alone. As someone who has navigated this myself—helping both friends and family find the right hospital at the right time—I know it can feel overwhelming. There’s the anxiety of illness, the stress of costs, and then the endless Googling that leads nowhere.

That’s exactly why I put together this guide.

This article is more than just a list—it’s your trusted companion through Arunachal Pradesh’s developing but impressive healthcare system. Whether you’re a resident, a caregiver, or simply planning ahead for emergencies, this guide gives you real, updated, practical information—from hospital names and contact details to costs, services, and what patients actually think.

Let’s start with the basics, and then go district by district, highlighting the most reliable hospitals and the government health schemes that can save you lakhs of rupees.

Arunachal Pradesh’s Healthcare System: A Quick Snapshot

With 25 districts and over 180 government hospitals, Arunachal Pradesh has come a long way in making healthcare accessible—especially in remote, tribal, and rural regions. Some highlights:

184 Government Hospitals

122 Primary Health Centres (PHCs)

62 Community Health Centres (CHCs)

15 Sub-District/Divisional Hospitals

The state’s flagship health initiatives include:

✅ Chief Minister Arogya Arunachal Yojana (CMAAY)

Covers most public and some private hospitals

Especially for permanent residents of Arunachal Pradesh
