Taken together, the 5 Andhra Pradesh cities with a page here have an estimated 7.2 million residents (about 72 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Visakhapatnam (2.4 million), Vijayawada (2.4 million) and Guntur (1.0 million), followed by 2 smaller cities. Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 11,000 hospital beds, including some 540 ICU beds, in an estimated 120 hospitals (roughly 33 public and 86 private). Andhra Pradesh averages 1.49 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 72% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 8,900 doctors and 16,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. Veterinarians are registered with the Veterinary Council of India and are not part of the human-health workforce counted above. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many veterinarians practise in Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh has infant mortality of 18 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 72.5 years (India: about 72). This page lists 5 veterinarians across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a veterinarian
- Check the qualification: BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry), with MVSc for specialists.
- Verify registration with the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) and your State Veterinary Council and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Not every listed clinic is open round the clock. Ask about emergency availability, the species treated and whether home visits are offered.
