Bhilai-Durg has an estimated 1.4 million (14 lakh) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 57 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.6 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Chhattisgarh's 0.60 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 870 hospital beds in Bhilai-Durg, including about 43 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 20 hospitals (about 11 public and 9 private). That is about 1667 residents for every bed and around 43 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 3,400 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 1,800 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Bhilai-Durg, supported by around 3,200 nurses and midwives. A gynecologist 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 gynecologists practise in Bhilai-Durg.
On health outcomes, Chhattisgarh's infant mortality rate is 36 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 71.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 46% of hospital beds in Chhattisgarh are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Bhilai-Durg, and 1 other city in Chhattisgarh have their own gynecologist page below.
