Gynecologists in Jammu at a glance
Quick facts about Jammu and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Jammu has an estimated 8.9 lakh (887,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 80 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists 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 510 hospital beds in Jammu, including about 26 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 10 hospitals (about 9 public and 1 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 2,200 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 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Jammu, supported by around 2,000 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 Jammu.
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 gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Jammu, and 1 other city in Jammu & Kashmir have their own gynecologist page below.
General information compiled from public sources (MoHFW, SRS 2024, CDDEP / One Health Trust, UN WPP 2024, Census 2011); estimates, not official counts, and not medical advice. Listings marked "Online Verified" come from public online sources: please confirm details with the provider.

How to choose a gynecologist in Jammu
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MD/MS (Obstetrics & Gynaecology), DGO or DNB.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- 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.
Healthcare in Jammu: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 510 beds and 10 hospitals for Jammu. Jammu & Kashmir state averages about 0.6 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 9% of beds in Jammu & Kashmir.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Jammu include GMC Jammu and AIIMS Jammu (Vijaypur, Samba). Government outpatient departments can be crowded, which is one reason many people also consult a private Gynecologist - ask each place about timings and documents to bring. (General-knowledge list; verify before relying on it.)
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.
Across all systems of medicine, Jammu is estimated to have around 1,100 practising doctors at the national ratio of one per 811 people. Specialist numbers are not published by city, so a gynecologist's qualification and registration are the best things to verify.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Note the first day of your last period
- Bring previous scan or Pap reports
- Ask whether the clinic provides delivery and NICU back-up if you are pregnant
Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in Jammu
How do I find the best gynecologist in Jammu?
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 gynecologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr. Narita Jamwal (House No.15, near Petrol Pump, Garden Avenue, Bhagwati Nagar, Talab Tillo, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir 180016) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a gynecologist in Jammu?
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 Jammu?
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 Jammu offer gynecologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Jammu include GMC Jammu and AIIMS Jammu (Vijaypur, Samba), and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for gynecologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
How do I choose a gynecologist or obstetrician in Jammu?
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.
Can I consult a gynecologist for PCOS or irregular periods in Jammu?
Yes. Gynecologists evaluate PCOS and cycle problems with an ultrasound and hormone tests, and combine medicines with lifestyle and nutrition advice. Some clinics work with a dietitian, which can help with weight management.
How many hospital beds does Jammu have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 510 beds (around 26 ICU beds) for Jammu. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
