With around 7.5 million (75 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Pune is number 9 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.5% a year, it would reach about 8.5 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality 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 14,000 hospital beds in Pune, including about 690 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 190 hospitals (about 42 public and 150 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 72 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 8,800 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 9,300 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Pune, supported by around 17,000 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 Pune.
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 neurologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 neurologist for Pune, and 18 other cities in Maharashtra have their own neurologist page below.
