Taken together, the 2 Jammu & Kashmir cities with a page here have an estimated 2.7 million residents (about 27 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Srinagar (1.8 million) and Jammu (0.9 million). Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.
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.

How to choose a knee replacement surgeon
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MS/DNB (Orthopaedics) and joint-replacement fellowship training.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Knee replacement is a decision for the patient and surgeon together, after non-surgical options have been tried. Ask for the package details in writing, and be careful with unverified price claims.
