Quick facts about Patna and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Patna has an estimated 2.7 million (27 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 22 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.1% a year, it would reach about 3.0 million by 2030, so demand for cardiologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Bihar's 0.26 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 710 hospital beds in Patna, including about 35 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 69 hospitals (about 26 public and 43 private). That is about 3846 residents for every bed and around 10 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 7,400 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.

The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 3,300 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Patna, supported by around 6,000 nurses and midwives. A cardiologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many cardiologists practise in Patna.

On health outcomes, Bihar's infant mortality rate is 23 per 1,000 live births (2024), close to the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.8 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 62% of hospital beds in Bihar are private, so most people weigh private cardiologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 cardiologist for Patna.

How to choose a cardiologist in Patna

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS, MD (Medicine) and DM or DNB (Cardiology).
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology) and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
A cardiologist (physician) is different from a cardiac surgeon (MCh CTVS). Surgeons operate on the heart; cardiologists diagnose, treat with medicines and perform procedures such as angioplasty.

Frequently asked questions: Cardiologists in Patna

How do I find the best cardiologist in Patna?

There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three cardiologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology), and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Pancardia Heart And Multi Super Speciality Hospital Pvt Ltd (G, 124, P C Colony Rd, RBI Flats Colony, Bankman Colony, Patna, Bihar 800020) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.

How can I book an appointment with a cardiologist in Patna?

Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.

How much does a cardiologist consultation cost in Patna?

Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.

Which hospitals in Patna offer cardiologist services?

Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Patna include AIIMS Patna, IGIMS and PMCH, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for cardiologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.

When should I see a cardiologist rather than a general physician in Patna?

See a cardiologist for chest discomfort on exertion, palpitations, unexplained breathlessness, fainting, or if you have had a heart attack or stent. A general physician can do the first check and refer you, but a cardiologist can interpret echo, TMT and angiography results.

Which heart tests are usually done first?

An ECG is quick and widely available. Based on your history the cardiologist may add an echocardiogram to look at heart function, a treadmill test to see how the heart behaves under stress, and blood tests such as a lipid profile. Angiography is reserved for cases where blockages are suspected.

Can I get a heart check-up in Patna without symptoms?

Yes. Preventive check-ups usually include blood pressure, ECG, lipid profile and sugar tests, and are worth considering after 40, or earlier with diabetes, smoking, obesity or a family history of heart disease.

How many hospital beds does Patna have?

No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 710 beds (around 35 ICU beds) for Patna. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
