Durgapur has an estimated 7.6 lakh (764,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 88 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 0.9 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 840 hospital beds in Durgapur, including about 42 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 17 hospitals (about 12 public and 5 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 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 940 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Durgapur, supported by around 1,700 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 Durgapur.

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. This page lists 1 ENT specialist for Durgapur, and 3 other cities in West Bengal have their own ENT specialist page below.

Frequently asked questions: ENT Specialists in Durgapur

How do I find the best ENT specialist in Durgapur?

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 ENT specialists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr Debajyoti Roy (A-9, Abanindra Bithi, Non-Company Housing Estate, City Center, Durgapur, West Bengal 713216) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.

How can I book an appointment with a ENT specialist in Durgapur?

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 ENT specialist consultation cost in Durgapur?

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 Durgapur offer ENT specialist services?

Durgapur has both government and private hospitals; availability of ENT specialist services varies. Use the listings above as a starting point and confirm departments and timings by phone.

Is a hearing test painful?

No. Audiometry is non-invasive: you wear headphones and respond to tones. It usually takes 15-30 minutes, and the audiologist or ENT doctor explains the result right away.

Do sinus problems always need surgery?

No. Most sinusitis is managed with medicines, nasal rinses and treatment of allergies. Surgery is considered only when there is a structural problem such as a deviated septum or when long-term medical treatment fails.

Can children see an ENT specialist?

Yes. Many ENT doctors treat children for recurrent ear infections, adenoid enlargement, tonsillitis and speech or hearing concerns. Mention the child's age when booking so the clinic can allot the right time.

How many hospital beds does Durgapur have?
