Jammu & Kashmir's 2 largest listed cities add up to roughly 2.7 million people. Srinagar (1.8 million) and Jammu (0.9 million) lead the list. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 1,500 hospital beds, including some 77 ICU beds, in an estimated 30 hospitals (roughly 27 public and 3 private). Jammu & Kashmir averages 0.58 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 9% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 3,300 doctors and 5,900 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Jammu & Kashmir.

How to choose a ENT specialist
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MS (ENT), DLO or DNB (Otorhinolaryngology).
- 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.
Hearing tests and nasal endoscopy are quick, outpatient procedures and are often available at the same clinic.
