With around 1.8 million (18 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Srinagar is number 41 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 2.0 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 1,000 hospital beds in Srinagar, including about 51 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 20 hospitals (about 18 public and 2 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 4,300 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 2,200 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Srinagar, supported by around 4,000 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 Srinagar.
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 Srinagar, and 1 other city in Jammu & Kashmir have their own general physician page below.

How to choose a general physician in Srinagar
- 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 Srinagar: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Srinagar is estimated to have about 1,000 hospital beds across roughly 20 hospitals, including around 51 ICU beds. Jammu & Kashmir state averages about 0.6 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. About 9% of beds in Jammu & Kashmir are in the private sector, so many patients choose between private clinics and government hospitals depending on cost and the kind of care needed.
Major hospitals and teaching institutions often associated with Srinagar include SKIMS and GMC Srinagar. Availability of Doctor / General Physician services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting. (This list is general knowledge, not a complete or verified directory, and includes both public and private institutions.)
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, Srinagar would have around 2,200 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
- Note when symptoms began and what makes them better or worse
- Fast only if blood tests have been requested in advance
Frequently asked questions: General Physicians in Srinagar
Who is the best general physician in Srinagar?
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, Dr Danish Amin Khan (Jawahar Nagar, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir 190008) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a general physician in Srinagar?
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 Srinagar?
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 Srinagar offer general physician services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Srinagar include SKIMS and GMC Srinagar, 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 Srinagar?
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 Srinagar 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.
How often should an adult get a general health check-up?
Many doctors suggest a basic check-up once a year after 30-35, and sooner if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease or take long-term medicines. Your physician can set a schedule that fits your age and risk factors.
How many hospital beds does Srinagar have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 1,000 beds (around 51 ICU beds) for Srinagar. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
