With around 14.4 million (144 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Bengaluru is number 4 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.8% a year, it would reach about 16.5 million by 2030, so demand for healthcare services is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Karnataka's 3.80 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 55,000 hospital beds in Bengaluru, including about 2,700 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 2,200 hospitals (about 590 public and 1,600 private). That is about 263 residents for every bed and around 25 beds per hospital on average. On these estimates the city is already at or above the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 18,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Bengaluru, supported by around 32,000 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, Karnataka's infant mortality rate is 15 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Karnataka are private, so most people weigh private doctors and specialists against government outpatient departments. This directory lists 15 providers for Bengaluru across 15 specialities, and 4 other cities in Karnataka have their own doctor page below.
