Gynecologists in Kolkata at a glance
Quick facts about Kolkata 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.

Kolkata has an estimated 15.8 million (158 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 3 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 1.8% a year, it would reach about 17.3 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 17,000 hospital beds in Kolkata, including about 870 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 350 hospitals (about 240 public and 110 private). That is about 909 residents for every bed and around 50 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 30,000 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 20,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Kolkata, supported by around 35,000 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 Kolkata.
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 Kolkata, and 3 other cities in West Bengal have their own gynecologist page below.

How to choose a gynecologist in Kolkata
- 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 Kolkata: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 17,000 beds and 350 hospitals for Kolkata. West Bengal state averages about 1.1 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. The private sector holds about 31% of beds in West Bengal.
Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Kolkata include Medical College Kolkata, NRS, SSKM / IPGMER and Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute. 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 West Bengal: the state infant mortality rate is 16 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.1 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Kolkata is estimated to have around 20,000 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
- Bring previous scan or Pap reports
- List medicines, allergies and any earlier surgeries
- Ask whether the clinic provides delivery and NICU back-up if you are pregnant
Frequently asked questions: Gynecologists in Kolkata
How do I find the best gynecologist in Kolkata?
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. Sunipa Chatterjee (Techno India, DAMA Hospital, LB -10, Chingrighata Fly Over, LB Block, Sector 3, Bidhannagar, Kolkata, West Bengal 700106) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a gynecologist in Kolkata?
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 Kolkata?
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 Kolkata offer gynecologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Kolkata include Medical College Kolkata, NRS, SSKM / IPGMER and Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute, 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.
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.
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 Kolkata?
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 Kolkata have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 17,000 beds (around 870 ICU beds) for Kolkata. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
