Bangalore is home to some of the top medical colleges of the country. Hence, it's no surprise that some of the best doctors and hospitals in India are also found here.
Though the number of health care facilities and medical practitioners have increased in recent years, the population in India and Bangalore in particular, has grown at a much faster rate.
In general, public and government run hospitals offer care that's well below European standards. The good news however is that you don't have to worry if you can afford to pay for your medical needs. While private insurance covers hospital requirements, a visit to the General Practitioner is relatively reasonable and there are quite a number of them to choose from.
Health services in Bangalore include hospitals and clinics of every possible kind - allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic.
Below is a list of reputed doctors in Bangalore.
