With around 7.1 lakh (705,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Erode is number 94 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 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Tamil Nadu's 1.91 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,300 hospital beds in Erode, including about 67 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 22 hospitals (about 11 public and 11 private). That is about 524 residents for every bed and around 61 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 770 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 870 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Erode, supported by around 1,600 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 Erode.
On health outcomes, Tamil Nadu's infant mortality rate is 11 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 75.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 50% of hospital beds in Tamil Nadu are private, so most people weigh private neurologists against government outpatient departments.
