With around 7.0 lakh (695,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Ujjain is number 95 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 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for general physicians and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Madhya Pradesh's 0.79 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 550 hospital beds in Ujjain, including about 28 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 8 hospitals (about 4 public and 4 private). That is about 1266 residents for every bed and around 69 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 1,500 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 860 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Ujjain, supported by around 1,600 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 Ujjain.
On health outcomes, Madhya Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 70.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 52% of hospital beds in Madhya Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private general physicians against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 general physician for Ujjain, and 4 other cities in Madhya Pradesh have their own general physician page below.

Frequently asked questions: General Physicians in Ujjain
How do I find the best general physician in Ujjain?
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, S. S. Hospital And Research Centre (S.S. Hospital and Research Centre, 76, Vikram Marg, near Shaheed Park, Freeganj, Madhav Nagar, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh 456010) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a general physician in Ujjain?
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 Ujjain?
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 Ujjain offer general physician services?
Ujjain has both government and private hospitals; availability of general physician services varies. Use the listings above as a starting point and confirm departments and timings by phone.
When should I see a general physician instead of a specialist in Ujjain?
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 Ujjain 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 Ujjain have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 550 beds (around 28 ICU beds) for Ujjain. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
