government
medical
college
of
Bangladesh
which
is
established
in
2006.
It
is

in
the
north-western
part
of
Dhaka
beside
the
National

House,
having
a
unique
architectural
campus
and
excellent
academic
atmosphere.
Shaheed

Hospital
has
a
long
heritage
of
discharging
health
care
services
and
also
has
a
proud
history
of
patronizing
many
medical

to

We

Shaheed
Suhrawardy
Hospital
was
established
in
1963
during
the
period
of
East
Pakistan
as
Ayub
Hospital
for
outdoor
services.
It
was
equipped
with
Pathological
and
Radiological
supports.
In
addition
to
outdoor
facilities,
this
medical
organization
then
extended
its
service
to
indoor
with
5
beds
and
subsequently
with
25
beds.
After
independence
through
the
great
liberation
war
against
Pakistan
in
1971,
the
hospital
had
been
renamed
as
Shaheed
Suhrawardy
Hospital
against
the
name
of
Hossain
Shaheed
Suhrawardy,
the
living
son
of
democracy.
This
hospital
has
magnificent
architectural
beauty
designed
by
famous
architect
Louis
I
Kahn
who
also
designed
the
National
Assembly
Hall
of
Bangladesh,
one
of
the
best
architectural
buildings
of
the
world.
The
hospital
was
then
extended
gradually
in
different
forms
as
general
hospital
to
extend
services
to
this
area
as
well
to
serve
as
central
referral
centre
from
whole
Bangladesh
especially
the
area
of
northern
and
western
part
of
Bangladesh.
Feeling
the
need
for
further
extension
of
scope
for
undergraduate
medical
education,
the
government
of
Bangladesh
decided
on
September
5,
2005
to
establish
this
medical
college
within
this
campus
along
with
up
gradation
of
Shaheed
Suhrawardy
Hospital
to
a
Medical
College
Hospital.
Accordingly
its
academic
activities
were
started
on
May
6,
2006
with
100
freshman
students.
The
colleges
building
including
hostels
were
rapidly
established
and
were
inaugurated
on
Janurary
17,
2012
by
Sheikh
Hasina,
the
Honourable
Prime
Minister
of
peoples’
Republic
of
Bangladesh.
Alongside
the
campus,
a
nursing
institute
is
under
way
to
be
established
soon.
To
complete
the
total
medical
education,
this
institute
extended
is
spectrum

starting
dentistry
as
BDS
course
in
2011.
Since
then
every
year
around
50
students
are
getting
admitted
to
this
institute.
Dentistry
department
has
separate
independent
unit
with
its

rooms,
