With around 1.6 million (16 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Asansol is number 50 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2% a year, it would reach about 1.7 million by 2030, so demand for ENT specialists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling West Bengal's 1.10 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,700 hospital beds in Asansol, including about 86 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 35 hospitals (about 24 public and 11 private). That is about 909 residents for every bed and around 49 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 3,000 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 1,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Asansol, supported by around 3,500 nurses and midwives. A ENT specialist 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 ENT specialists practise in Asansol.

On health outcomes, West Bengal's infant mortality rate is 16 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.1 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 31% of hospital beds in West Bengal are private, so most people weigh private ENT specialists against government outpatient departments.
