With around 1.5 million (15 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Amritsar is number 54 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.1% a year, it would reach about 1.7 million by 2030, so demand for healthcare services is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Punjab's 1.95 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 2,900 hospital beds in Amritsar, including about 150 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 110 hospitals (about 33 public and 79 private). That is about 513 residents for every bed and around 26 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 1,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Amritsar, supported by around 3,400 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, Punjab'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 72.9 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 71% of hospital beds in Punjab are private, so most people weigh private doctors and specialists against government outpatient departments. This directory lists 15 providers for Amritsar across 15 specialities, and 2 other cities in Punjab have their own doctor page below.
