Malappuram has an estimated 4.3 million (43 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 12 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 3.8% a year, it would reach about 5.2 million by 2030, so demand for ENT specialists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Kerala's 2.63 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 11,000 hospital beds in Malappuram, including about 570 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 380 hospitals (about 150 public and 240 private). That is about 380 residents for every bed and around 30 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 1,600 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 5,400 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Malappuram, supported by around 9,700 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 Malappuram.
On health outcomes, Kerala's infant mortality rate is 8 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 78.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 62% of hospital beds in Kerala are private, so most people weigh private ENT specialists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 ENT specialist for Malappuram, and 6 other cities in Kerala have their own ENT specialist page below.
