Patna has an estimated 2.7 million (27 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 22 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.1% a year, it would reach about 3.0 million by 2030, so demand for healthcare services is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Bihar's 0.26 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 710 hospital beds in Patna, including about 35 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 69 hospitals (about 26 public and 43 private). That is about 3846 residents for every bed and around 10 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 7,400 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 3,300 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Patna, supported by around 6,000 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, Bihar's infant mortality rate is 23 per 1,000 live births (2024), close to the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.8 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 62% of hospital beds in Bihar are private, so most people weigh private nutritionists and dietitians against government outpatient departments. This directory lists 1 providers for Patna.
