With around 1.9 million (19 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Raipur is number 35 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.8% a year, it would reach about 2.2 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Chhattisgarh's 0.60 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,200 hospital beds in Raipur, including about 58 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 26 hospitals (about 14 public and 12 private). That is about 1667 residents for every bed and around 45 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 4,600 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 2,400 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Raipur, supported by around 4,300 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 Raipur.
On health outcomes, Chhattisgarh's infant mortality rate is 36 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 71.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 46% of hospital beds in Chhattisgarh are private, so most people weigh private neurologists against government outpatient departments.
