Kerala's 7 largest listed cities add up to roughly 23.8 million people. Kozhikode (4.4 million), Malappuram (4.3 million) and Thrissur (3.7 million) lead the list, with 4 other cities behind them. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 63,000 hospital beds, including some 3,100 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,100 hospitals (roughly 810 public and 1,300 private). Kerala averages 2.63 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 62% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 29,000 doctors and 53,000 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 Kerala.
Kerala has infant mortality of 8 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 78.0 years (India: about 72). This page lists 7 ENT specialists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

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.
