Taken together, the 4 West Bengal cities with a page here have an estimated 19.1 million residents (about 191 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Kolkata (15.8 million), Asansol (1.6 million) and Siliguri (1.0 million), followed by 1 smaller cities. 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 21,000 hospital beds, including some 1,100 ICU beds, in an estimated 420 hospitals (roughly 290 public and 130 private). West Bengal averages 1.10 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 31% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 24,000 doctors and 43,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. A knee replacement surgeon 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 knee replacement surgeons practise in West Bengal.
West Bengal has infant mortality of 16 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.1 years (India: about 72). This page lists 4 knee replacement surgeons across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

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.
