Every year on July 1, India observes National Doctor's Day — a day that began in 1991 to honour Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, the physician and statesman whose birth and death anniversaries both fall on this date.

In 2026, with telemedicine consolidating alongside in-person care and specialist consultation waitlists stretching weeks in major cities, finding the right doctor quickly matters more than it did even three years ago. The Yellow Pages India directory on Lifenavi exists precisely for this: a searchable, category-structured database of verified doctors, hospitals, clinics and health professionals across India's major cities — alongside every other type of local business you might need.

This guide covers how to use Yellow Pages India to find medical professionals, what else the directory covers and how local businesses can get listed for free.

What Is Yellow Pages India?

Yellow Pages India on Lifenavi is a free business directory organised by category and searchable by city or keyword. It is available at lifenavi.com/in/yellow-pages.

It operates on the same principle as a traditional business directory — but structured for how Indians actually search in 2026. You search a category (doctor, plumber, salon, lawyer), add a city, and get direct contact details for local businesses and professionals without navigating through ad results or aggregator middlemen.

How to Find a Doctor or Clinic on Yellow Pages India

On Doctor's Day 2026, millions of Indians will search for healthcare contacts — for booking follow-up appointments, finding specialists their GP referred them to, or looking for a second opinion. Here is how to use Yellow Pages India effectively for each scenario.

Finding a General Practitioner Near You

Search doctor + your city (e.g., "doctor Pune," "GP clinic Delhi NCR," "family physician Bengaluru") in the Yellow Pages India search bar. Filter by neighbourhood or pin code if listings include it. Most GP clinic profiles show consultation hours, contact number and whether walk-in appointments are available.

Finding a Specialist

For specialist referrals — cardiologist, orthopedic surgeon, dermatologist, endocrinologist, gynecologist, pediatrician — search by specialty + city. Because specialists often practice at multiple hospitals, the profile page will usually list their primary clinic address and the associated hospital.

Finding Hospitals and Diagnostic Centres

Searching "hospital" + city or "diagnostic lab" + area gives you a directory of registered facilities. Many diagnostic chains (SRL, Metropolis, Thyrocare) have multiple city branches listed under their company profile. Pathology labs and radiology centres are findable in the same directory.

Online vs In-Person — What Yellow Pages India Lists

Yellow Pages India lists both physical clinics (where you visit in person) and practitioners who offer teleconsultation. For telemedicine-first platforms, the listing will note the teleconsult availability in the service description.

Note: Business have posted ads also on the Healthcare Services in India. So you can check that also

What Else Does Yellow Pages India Cover?

Medical listings are one category within a comprehensive business directory. Yellow Pages India on Lifenavi also covers:

A Note for Doctor's Day 2026

On National Doctor's Day, we recognise the work of India's 1.3 million registered medical practitioners — from MBBS graduates serving at PHCs in rural districts to super-specialists at tertiary hospitals in metro cities. The directory does not replace the relationship between a doctor and patient. It makes the first step — finding the right doctor — faster and less complicated.

Happy Doctor's Day 2026.
