Maharashtra's 19 largest listed cities add up to roughly 54.2 million people. Mumbai (22.1 million), Pune (7.5 million) and Nagpur (3.2 million) lead the list, with 16 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 99,000 hospital beds, including some 5,000 ICU beds, in an estimated 1,400 hospitals (roughly 300 public and 1,100 private). Maharashtra averages 1.83 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 78% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 67,000 doctors and 1,20,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Maharashtra.

Maharashtra has infant mortality of 13 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.5 years (India: about 72). This page lists 19 general physicians across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

General information compiled from public sources (MoHFW, SRS 2024, CDDEP / One Health Trust, UN WPP 2024, Census 2011); estimates, not official counts, and not medical advice.

  • Anaemia and vitamin deficiencies
  • Dengue, typhoid and malaria workups
  • General health check-ups

When to see a general physician

  • Persistent tiredness, weight change or loss of appetite
  • 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

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS, with MD (General Medicine) or DNB for consultant physicians.
  2. Verify registration with the National Medical Commission (NMC) / your State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
  4. Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
  5. 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.

Who is the best general physician in Maharashtra?

When should I see a general physician instead of a specialist in Maharashtra?

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 Maharashtra 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.
