Taken together, the 3 Punjab cities with a page here have an estimated 4.7 million residents (about 47 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Ludhiana (2.0 million), Amritsar (1.5 million) and Jalandhar (1.2 million). Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 9,200 hospital beds, including some 460 ICU beds, in an estimated 350 hospitals (roughly 100 public and 250 private). Punjab averages 1.95 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 71% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 5,800 doctors and 11,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Punjab.

Punjab has infant mortality of 16 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 72.9 years (India: about 72). This page lists 3 neurologists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a neurologist

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS, MD (Medicine) and DM or DNB (Neurology).
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Neurology) and note the registration number.
  3. Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
  4. Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
  5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Neurosurgeons (MCh) operate on the brain and spine and are a different specialty from neurologists, who diagnose and treat with medicines and non-surgical care.

What is the difference between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon?

A neurologist diagnoses and treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves mostly with medicines and therapy. A neurosurgeon performs operations when surgery is needed. They commonly refer patients to each other.

Do I need an MRI for every neurological complaint?

No. Many conditions are diagnosed after a careful history and examination. The neurologist orders an MRI, CT or EEG only when it will change the diagnosis or treatment.
