Ahmedabad has an estimated 9.1 million (91 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 7 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 10.2 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Gujarat's 0.95 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 8,600 hospital beds in Ahmedabad, including about 430 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 190 hospitals (about 58 public and 130 private). That is about 1053 residents for every bed and around 46 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 19,000 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 11,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Ahmedabad, supported by around 20,000 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 Ahmedabad.

On health outcomes, Gujarat's infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.7 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 69% of hospital beds in Gujarat are private, so most people weigh private neurologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 neurologist for Ahmedabad, and 5 other cities in Gujarat have their own neurologist page below.

  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
