Visakhapatnam has an estimated 2.4 million (24 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 27 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 2.7 million by 2030, so demand for healthcare services 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 3,600 hospital beds in Visakhapatnam, including about 180 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 40 hospitals (about 11 public and 29 private). That is about 671 residents for every bed and around 91 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 3,700 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 Visakhapatnam, supported by around 5,400 nurses and midwives. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show overall scale rather than the number of any one speciality.
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 nutritionists and dietitians against government outpatient departments. This directory lists 1 providers for Visakhapatnam, and 4 other cities in Andhra Pradesh have their own nutritionist page below.
