Chandpur Medical College Hospital

About Hospital

Chandpur Medical College is one of the newer additions to Bangladesh's list of government medical schools, formally established in 2018 and affiliated with Chittagong Medical University. Its academic journey, though, only really began on 10 January 2019, when the first batch of 50 MBBS students walked in under the 2018-2019 academic year.

Here is the part that matters most if you are trying to find "the hospital" specifically: the college itself did not have its own hospital building to begin with. Under a government order dated 19 November 2018, its academic and administrative work started out in just 13 rooms on the north side of the third floor of the existing 250-bedded Chandpur General Hospital. Administrative permission was later granted to keep using that same 250-bed General Hospital as the college's teaching hospital until a dedicated Chandpur Medical College Hospital building is finally ready. In practical terms, that means when people say "Chandpur Medical College Hospital" today, they are almost certainly talking about the same building long known as Chandpur General Hospital - now doing double duty as a public hospital and a teaching site for the college's students and interns.

The college sits on a 32-acre campus on Stand Road / Kobi Nazrul Sarak in Chandpur town. Student numbers have grown steadily - the annual intake rose from 50 to 75 starting the 2023-2024 academic year, and by that same year the college had 284 MBBS students enrolled across its batches, with the first cohort (2018-19) having already completed their degrees and moved into internship under the 250-bed hospital.

Hospital Overview (Quick Facts)

Founded:

The medical college was established in 2018, with teaching activity beginning January 2019. The hospital building itself, however, is the older Chandpur General Hospital, whose own original founding date could not be confirmed from any source checked - please verify.

Speciality:

Functions as both Chandpur district's main 250-bed government hospital and the teaching hospital for Chandpur Medical College, meaning patients here are treated within a formal academic training environment involving faculty, interns, and students.

Number of Beds:

250 beds, consistent across every source checked - this figure predates the medical college and belongs to the original Chandpur General Hospital building the college has been using.

Departments:

Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology (the college's current principal is herself a professor of this department), Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, Emergency Medicine, along with the pre-clinical and para-clinical academic departments typical of a teaching institution such as Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology. Specialist and faculty availability on any given day depends on the duty roster, so it is worth calling ahead for a specific consultation.

Popular Treatments:

General medical consultation, emergency and casualty care, obstetric and childbirth care, paediatric treatment, orthopaedic and fracture care, basic diagnostic testing.

Doctor List

No complete, department-wise doctor list could be found in any reliable online source. Given the teaching-hospital setup here, both permanent consultants and rotating faculty or interns may be involved in patient care, so checking the notice board, the OPD counter, or calling ahead is the most reliable way to know who is available on a given day. - please verify

Whether the hospital currently has a functioning ICU, dedicated blood bank, or more advanced imaging equipment could not be confirmed with confidence - please verify by calling ahead, particularly since the facility is still transitioning into its expanded role as a teaching hospital.

OPD Timing

Following the general pattern for government hospitals in Bangladesh:

This is the standard schedule, not one specifically confirmed for this hospital - please verify directly with the hospital or its official website before visiting.

How to Reach the Hospital

The hospital and college campus sit on Kobi Nazrul Sarak, also referred to as Stand Road, in Chandpur town - a fairly central, well-known address locally given the college's size and visibility. If asking around, mentioning either "Chandpur Medical College" or "Chandpur General Hospital" should get you to the same place, since the two currently share the same building.
