With around 7.6 lakh (764,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Durgapur is number 88 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 0.9 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling West Bengal's 1.10 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 840 hospital beds in Durgapur, including about 42 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 17 hospitals (about 12 public and 5 private). That is about 909 residents for every bed and around 49 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 940 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Durgapur, supported by around 1,700 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 Durgapur.
On health outcomes, West Bengal's infant mortality rate is 16 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.1 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 31% of hospital beds in West Bengal are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Durgapur, and 3 other cities in West Bengal have their own gynecologist page below.

Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in Durgapur
Who is the best gynecologist in Durgapur?

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 gynecologist consultation cost in Durgapur?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices.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.

Check the qualification (MD/MS in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, DGO or DNB), whether the doctor practises at a hospital with delivery and NICU facilities if you are pregnant, and how comfortable you feel asking questions. Ask whether antenatal packages are itemised so there are no surprises.
What does a first antenatal visit usually involve?
Expect a history, blood pressure and weight check, blood tests, an early ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy and date it, and advice on folic acid, diet and vaccinations. The doctor will then schedule regular check-ups and growth scans.
