Taken together, the 5 Karnataka cities with a page here have an estimated 18.7 million residents (about 187 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Bengaluru (14.4 million), Mysuru (1.3 million) and Hubballi-Dharwad (1.3 million), followed by 2 smaller cities. 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 71,000 hospital beds, including some 3,500 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,900 hospitals (roughly 770 public and 2,100 private). Karnataka averages 3.80 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 73% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 23,000 doctors and 42,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Karnataka.

Karnataka has infant mortality of 15 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.3 years (India: about 72). This page lists 5 nutritionists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

  • You have digestive problems or food intolerances

How to choose a nutritionist

  1. Check the qualification: MSc in Food & Nutrition or Dietetics, a PG diploma in dietetics, or a Registered Dietitian (RD) credential.
  2. Verify registration with there is no statutory register for "nutritionist" in India; the Indian Dietetic Association offers the RD credential, so ask to see qualification certificates.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
The title "nutritionist" is not protected, so check qualifications. Be cautious about plans that promise rapid weight loss, rely on supplements or claim to cure disease.
