Kannur has an estimated 2.5 million (25 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 26 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.5% a year, it would reach about 2.8 million by 2030, so demand for nutritionists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Kerala's 2.63 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 6,500 hospital beds in Kannur, including about 320 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 220 hospitals (about 84 public and 140 private). That is about 380 residents for every bed and around 30 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 920 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 3,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Kannur, supported by around 5,500 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 Kannur.
On health outcomes, Kerala's infant mortality rate is 8 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 78.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 62% of hospital beds in Kerala are private, so most people weigh private nutritionists against government outpatient departments.
