Doctors and specialists in Amravati

Healthcare in Amravati at a glance

Quick facts about Amravati and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

With around 8.7 lakh (873,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Amravati is number 81 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 Maharashtra's 1.83 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,600 hospital beds in Amravati, including about 80 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 22 hospitals (about 5 public and 17 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 72 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 1,000 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 Amravati, supported by around 1,900 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, Maharashtra's infant mortality rate is 13 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 78% of hospital beds in Maharashtra are private, so most people weigh private doctors and specialists against government outpatient departments.
