Asansol has an estimated 1.6 million (16 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 50 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2% a year, it would reach about 1.7 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 1,700 hospital beds in Asansol, including about 86 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 35 hospitals (about 24 public and 11 private). That is about 909 residents for every bed and around 49 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 3,000 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 1,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Asansol, supported by around 3,500 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 doctors and specialists against government outpatient departments. This directory lists 14 providers for Asansol across 15 specialities, and 3 other cities in West Bengal have their own doctor page below.
