Doctors and specialists across Jammu & Kashmir

Healthcare in Jammu & Kashmir at a glance

Quick facts for the Jammu & Kashmir cities listed here. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Jammu & Kashmir's 2 largest listed cities add up to roughly 2.7 million people. Srinagar (1.8 million) and Jammu (0.9 million) lead the list. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 1,500 hospital beds, including some 77 ICU beds, in an estimated 30 hospitals (roughly 27 public and 3 private). Jammu & Kashmir averages 0.58 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 9% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 3,300 doctors and 5,900 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show overall scale rather than the number of any one speciality.

Jammu & Kashmir has infant mortality of 14 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 76.3 years (India: about 72). This directory lists 30 providers across these cities, and every city below has its own page linking to 15 speciality pages with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.
