Gynecologists in Visakhapatnam at a glance

Quick facts about Visakhapatnam 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.

Visakhapatnam has an estimated 2.4 million (24 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 27 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 2.7 million by 2030, so demand for gynecologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Andhra Pradesh's 1.49 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,600 hospital beds in Visakhapatnam, including about 180 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 40 hospitals (about 11 public and 29 private). That is about 671 residents for every bed and around 91 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 3,700 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 3,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Visakhapatnam, supported by around 5,400 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 Visakhapatnam.

On health outcomes, Andhra Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 18 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 72% of hospital beds in Andhra Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private gynecologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 gynecologist for Visakhapatnam, and 4 other cities in Andhra Pradesh have their own gynecologist page below.

  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  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.

How much does a gynecologist consultation cost in Visakhapatnam?

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.

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 Visakhapatnam?
