Agra has an estimated 2.5 million (25 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 25 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 2.8 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,100 hospital beds in Agra, including about 150 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 190 hospitals (about 51 public and 140 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 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 4,300 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 3,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Agra, supported by around 5,500 nurses and midwives. A neurologist 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 neurologists practise in Agra.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private neurologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 neurologist for Agra, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own neurologist page below.
