Best Nutritionists in Aligarh

Nutritionists in Aligarh at a glance

Quick facts about Aligarh and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Aligarh has an estimated 1.4 million (14 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 61 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.5% a year, it would reach about 1.6 million by 2030, so demand for nutritionists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,700 hospital beds in Aligarh, including about 86 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 100 hospitals (about 28 public and 76 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 17 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 2,400 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 1,700 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Aligarh, supported by around 3,100 nurses and midwives. Nutritionists and dietitians are not counted in medical registers, and "nutritionist" is not a protected title in India, so qualifications matter more than the label. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many nutritionists practise in Aligarh.

On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements.
