Gynecologists in Kozhikode at a glance

With around 4.4 million (44 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Kozhikode is number 11 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 3.4% a year, it would reach about 5.2 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Kerala's 2.63 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 12,000 hospital beds in Kozhikode, including about 580 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 390 hospitals (about 150 public and 240 private). That is about 380 residents for every bed and around 30 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 1,600 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 5,400 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Kozhikode, supported by around 9,800 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 Kozhikode.
On health outcomes, Kerala's infant mortality rate is 8 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 78.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 62% of hospital beds in Kerala are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Kozhikode, and 6 other cities in Kerala have their own gynecologist page below.

Healthcare in Kozhikode: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Kozhikode is estimated to have about 12,000 hospital beds across roughly 390 hospitals, including around 580 ICU beds. Kerala state averages about 2.6 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4.

Major hospitals and teaching institutions often associated with Kozhikode include Govt Medical College Kozhikode. Availability of Gynecologist / Obstetrician services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting. (This list is general knowledge, not a complete or verified directory, and includes both public and private institutions.)
For context on health outcomes in Kerala: the state infant mortality rate is 8 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 78.0 years, above the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Kozhikode is estimated to have around 5,400 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 Kozhikode
Who is the best gynecologist in Kozhikode?
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. A.M. Indira (Marikunnu, po, Vellimadukunnu, Kozhikode, Keralam 673012) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a gynecologist in Kozhikode?
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 Kozhikode?
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 Kozhikode offer gynecologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Kozhikode include Govt Medical College Kozhikode, 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 Kozhikode?
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 Kozhikode have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 12,000 beds (around 580 ICU beds) for Kozhikode. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
