Nutritionists in Kalyan-Dombivli at a glance

Quick facts about Kalyan-Dombivli and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Kalyan-Dombivli has an estimated 1.7 million (17 lakh) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 44 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.9 million by 2030, so demand for nutritionists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Maharashtra's 1.83 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,100 hospital beds in Kalyan-Dombivli, including about 150 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 42 hospitals (about 9 public and 33 private). That is about 546 residents for every bed and around 73 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 2,000 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
