India's 100 largest listed cities add up to roughly 290.5 million people. Delhi (34.7 million), Mumbai (22.1 million) and Kolkata (15.8 million) lead the list, with 97 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 5,20,000 hospital beds, including some 26,000 ICU beds, in an estimated 14,000 hospitals (roughly 4,600 public and 9,100 private). Across India the average is about 1.39 beds per 1,000 people, well under the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 3,60,000 doctors and 6,50,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 India.

India has national infant mortality of 24 per 1,000 live births (2024) and life expectancy of about 72 years. This page lists 100 gynecologists across these cities, and every city and state below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a gynecologist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MD/MS (Obstetrics & Gynaecology), DGO or DNB.
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / 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.
Both spellings (gynecologist and gynaecologist) are used in India; the listings on this page cover both. For delivery, check that the hospital has neonatal care available.

Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in India

Which cities have listed gynecologists?

How many gynecologists are listed in India?

This page shows 100 listed providers across 100 cities. It is a starting point rather than a complete register, so use the qualification and registration checks on each city page before booking.

Who is the best gynecologist in India?

There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and city. Shortlist two or three gynecologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. Dr Vaishali Sharma (Delhi) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.

How do I choose a gynecologist or obstetrician in India?

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.

At what age should a woman first visit a gynecologist?

There is no fixed age. A visit is sensible when periods are very painful or irregular, when you become sexually active and want advice on contraception, or when planning a pregnancy. Pap smear screening is generally discussed from the early twenties to thirties depending on guidelines your doctor follows.
