Jamnagar has an estimated 7.1 lakh (714,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 93 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for dermatologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Gujarat's 0.95 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 680 hospital beds in Jamnagar, including about 34 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 15 hospitals (about 5 public and 10 private). That is about 1053 residents for every bed and around 45 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 1,500 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 880 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Jamnagar, supported by around 1,600 nurses and midwives. A dermatologist 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 dermatologists practise in Jamnagar.
On health outcomes, Gujarat's infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.7 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 69% of hospital beds in Gujarat are private, so most people weigh private dermatologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 dermatologist for Jamnagar, and 5 other cities in Gujarat have their own dermatologist page below.

How to choose a dermatologist in Jamnagar
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MD (Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy), DDVL or DNB.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
"Cosmetologist" is not a protected medical qualification. For medical skin and hair problems look for a registered dermatologist (MD/DDVL/DNB).
Healthcare in Jamnagar: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 680 beds and 15 hospitals for Jamnagar. Gujarat state averages about 1.0 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 69% of beds in Gujarat.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Jamnagar include MP Shah Govt Medical College and WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine. Government outpatient departments can be crowded, which is one reason many people also consult a private Dermatologist - ask each place about timings and documents to bring. (General-knowledge list; verify before relying on it.)
For context on health outcomes in Gujarat: the state infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.7 years, near the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Jamnagar is estimated to have around 880 practising doctors at the national ratio of one per 811 people. Specialist numbers are not published by city, so a dermatologist's qualification and registration are the best things to verify.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Bring the products and medicines you already use
- Note any triggers such as food, soap or season
- Take clear photos of a rash that comes and goes
Frequently asked questions: Dermatologists in Jamnagar
How do I find the best dermatologist in Jamnagar?
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 dermatologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr Mrunali D. Baldha (2nd floor, near Lalpur ByPass, krish complex, Ranjit Sagar Rd, Green City, Jamnagar, Gujarat 361005) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a dermatologist in Jamnagar?
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 dermatologist consultation cost in Jamnagar?
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 Jamnagar offer dermatologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Jamnagar include MP Shah Govt Medical College and WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for dermatologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
Is hair loss treated by a dermatologist?
Yes. Dermatologists diagnose the type of hair loss, order blood tests for causes such as thyroid problems or low iron, and suggest medical treatments or procedures. Treatment usually needs a few months before results are visible.
What is the difference between a dermatologist and a cosmetologist?
A dermatologist is a medical doctor with a postgraduate degree in skin diseases. "Cosmetologist" is a broader title that can include non-doctors. For diseases, infections or anything involving prescription medicines, choose a registered dermatologist.
Can skin problems be linked to other health conditions?
Sometimes. Persistent itching, dark patches or recurrent infections can be connected to diabetes, thyroid disease or nutritional deficiencies, so a dermatologist may suggest blood tests alongside skin treatment.
How many hospital beds does Jamnagar have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 680 beds (around 34 ICU beds) for Jamnagar. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
