Where these came from

These English-speaking doctors come from 3 sources, led by the UK Foreign Office's travel advice (70), a United States embassy or consulate (70) and a French diplomatic mission (10).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in India?
We list 150, in 20 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Mumbai, with 58 of the 150.
Is English unusual for doctors in India?
100% of the 150 doctors we hold in India are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
