The hospital is named after Sawai Man Singh II, then King of Jaipur. The hospital also provides practical training to the students of the Sawai Man Singh Medical College. SMS hospital is under pressure due to a large number of patients from across the state as it is one of the few government super speciality hospitals. Presently, there are over 168 beds in ICUs and 51 in semi ICUs of the hospital. But, the shortage of nursing staff is a concern in ICUs. The ratio of nursing staff in ICUs, currently, is one nurse per 6-7 beds at the hospital. However, it has been recommended that there should be one nurse for two patients in ICUs.
