With around 8.9 lakh (887,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Jammu is number 80 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the 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 healthcare services 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. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show overall scale rather than the number of any one speciality.
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 doctors and specialists against government outpatient departments.
