Mangaluru has an estimated 8.4 lakh (837,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 84 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 0.9 million by 2030, so demand for healthcare services is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Karnataka's 3.80 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,200 hospital beds in Mangaluru, including about 160 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 130 hospitals (about 34 public and 95 private). That is about 263 residents for every bed and around 25 beds per hospital on average. On these estimates the city is already at or above the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Mangaluru, supported by around 1,900 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, Karnataka's infant mortality rate is 15 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Karnataka are private, so most people weigh private nutritionists and dietitians against government outpatient departments.
