With around 15.8 million (158 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Kolkata is number 3 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 1.8% a year, it would reach about 17.3 million by 2030, so demand for healthcare services is likely to keep rising.
Scaling West Bengal's 1.10 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 17,000 hospital beds in Kolkata, including about 870 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 350 hospitals (about 240 public and 110 private). That is about 909 residents for every bed and around 50 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 30,000 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 20,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Kolkata, supported by around 35,000 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, West Bengal's infant mortality rate is 16 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.1 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 31% of hospital beds in West Bengal are private, so most people weigh private nutritionists and dietitians against government outpatient departments. This directory lists 1 providers for Kolkata, and 3 other cities in West Bengal have their own nutritionist page below.
