Bhubaneswar has an estimated 1.2 million (12 lakh) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 67 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.3 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Odisha's 0.54 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 650 hospital beds in Bhubaneswar, including about 32 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 64 hospitals (about 46 public and 18 private). That is about 1852 residents for every bed and around 10 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 2,900 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 1,500 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Bhubaneswar, supported by around 2,700 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 Bhubaneswar.
On health outcomes, Odisha's infant mortality rate is 28 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 71.8 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 28% of hospital beds in Odisha are private, so most people weigh private neurologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 neurologist for Bhubaneswar, and 1 other city in Odisha have their own neurologist page below.
