Ujjain has an estimated 7.0 lakh (695,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 95 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 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for ophthalmologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Madhya Pradesh's 0.79 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 550 hospital beds in Ujjain, including about 28 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 8 hospitals (about 4 public and 4 private). That is about 1266 residents for every bed and around 69 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 1,500 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 860 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Ujjain, supported by around 1,600 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 Ujjain.

On health outcomes, Madhya 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 70.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 52% of hospital beds in Madhya Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private ophthalmologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 ophthalmologist for Ujjain, and 4 other cities in Madhya Pradesh have their own ophthalmologist page below.
