With around 2.4 million (24 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Vijayawada is number 30 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.6% a year, it would reach about 2.7 million by 2030, so demand for neurologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Andhra Pradesh's 1.49 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,500 hospital beds in Vijayawada, including about 180 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 39 hospitals (about 11 public and 28 private). That is about 671 residents for every bed and around 90 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 3,500 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 2,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Vijayawada, supported by around 5,200 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 Vijayawada.
On health outcomes, Andhra Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 18 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 72% of hospital beds in Andhra Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private neurologists against government outpatient departments.
