With around 9.1 lakh (910,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Gorakhpur is number 77 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for ophthalmologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,100 hospital beds in Gorakhpur, including about 57 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 69 hospitals (about 19 public and 50 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 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 1,600 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 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Gorakhpur, supported by around 2,000 nurses and midwives. A ophthalmologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many ophthalmologists practise in Gorakhpur.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private ophthalmologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 ophthalmologist for Gorakhpur, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own ophthalmologist page below.
