Doctors and specialists in Bhiwandi

Healthcare in Bhiwandi at a glance

Quick facts about Bhiwandi 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 9.6 lakh (957,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Bhiwandi is number 74 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 1.1 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 1,700 hospital beds in Bhiwandi, including about 87 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 24 hospitals (about 5 public and 19 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 73 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 1,100 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 1,200 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Bhiwandi, supported by around 2,100 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.
