General Physicians in Jammu at a glance
Quick facts about Jammu and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

With around 8.9 lakh (887,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Jammu is number 80 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for general physicians and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Jammu & Kashmir's 0.58 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 510 hospital beds in Jammu, including about 26 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 10 hospitals (about 9 public and 1 private). That is about 1724 residents for every bed and around 51 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 2,200 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 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Jammu, supported by around 2,000 nurses and midwives. A general physician is usually the first doctor people see, which makes the overall doctor count the most relevant benchmark for this speciality. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many general physicians practise in Jammu.
On health outcomes, Jammu & Kashmir's infant mortality rate is 14 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 76.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 9% of hospital beds in Jammu & Kashmir are private, so most people weigh private general physicians against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 general physician for Jammu, and 1 other city in Jammu & Kashmir have their own general physician page below.

Also searched as: doctor near me, family doctor, physician, MD medicine, general practitioner.
When to see a general physician in Jammu
- A fever lasting more than three days
- Blood pressure or sugar readings that are repeatedly high
- You need a first opinion before choosing a specialist
- An annual or pre-employment health check
- Long-term medicines that need review
Emergency: Chest pain, breathlessness, confusion, seizures or heavy bleeding need emergency care: call 108 instead of waiting for an appointment. India's free ambulance number is 108.
How to choose a general physician in Jammu
- Check the qualification: MBBS, with MD (General Medicine) or DNB for consultant physicians.
- Verify registration with the National Medical Commission (NMC) / your State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
A general physician is usually the best first stop: they treat common conditions directly and refer you to the right specialist when needed.
Healthcare in Jammu: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 510 beds and 10 hospitals for Jammu. Jammu & Kashmir state averages about 0.6 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 9% of beds in Jammu & Kashmir.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Jammu include GMC Jammu and AIIMS Jammu (Vijaypur, Samba). Government outpatient departments can be crowded, which is one reason many people also consult a private General Physician - ask each place about timings and documents to bring. (General-knowledge list; verify before relying on it.)
For context on health outcomes in Jammu & Kashmir: the state infant mortality rate is 14 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 76.3 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
At the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, Jammu would have around 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine. That is a national-average estimate, not a register count; the General Physician is usually the doctor who coordinates the rest.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Carry earlier prescriptions and reports
- List every medicine and supplement you take
- Fast only if blood tests have been requested in advance
Frequently asked questions: General Physicians in Jammu
How do I find the best general physician in Jammu?
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 general physicians, check their qualification and registration with the National Medical Commission (NMC) / your State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Bee Enn General Hospital (Talab Tillo Rd, Garden Avenue, Bhagwati Nagar, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir 180016) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a general physician in Jammu?
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 general physician consultation cost in Jammu?
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 Jammu offer general physician services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Jammu include GMC Jammu and AIIMS Jammu (Vijaypur, Samba), and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for general physician services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
When should I see a general physician instead of a specialist in Jammu?
Start with a general physician when symptoms are new, unclear or involve more than one body system, such as fever with body ache, ongoing fatigue or a rise in blood pressure. They examine you, order first-line tests and refer you to a specialist only if needed, which often saves time and cost.
What tests might a physician in Jammu ask for on a first visit?
Common first-line tests include a complete blood count, blood sugar (fasting or HbA1c), thyroid profile and kidney and liver function tests, with an ECG or chest X-ray if your symptoms suggest it. The doctor decides the list after examining you, so there is no need to book tests in advance.
Is a physician the same as a family doctor?
In India the terms overlap. A family doctor is typically an MBBS (or MBBS with MD) doctor who looks after the whole household for common illnesses and preventive care, while a consultant physician usually holds an MD in General Medicine and manages more complex adult conditions.
How many hospital beds does Jammu have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 510 beds (around 26 ICU beds) for Jammu. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
