Gazipur District Hospital (Gazipur Sadar Hospital)

About Hospital

Gazipur District Hospital — long known locally as Gazipur Sadar Hospital — was historically the district's principal government hospital, located at Rathkhula, Sadar Hospital Road, Joydebpur, Gazipur. Over the past decade, this facility has been progressively upgraded into a full medical college hospital. Gazipur Medical College was first established here on 18 November 2013, and was renamed Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College (STAMC) in August 2014, named after Tajuddin Ahmad, the first Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

A new hospital building was established in 2016 with a planned capacity of around 500 beds, constructed as an eight-storey RCC structure under a government-funded Public Works Department project; civil works were completed by 2022. Some sources describe the newer hospital block specifically as a 250-bed facility, with emergency services still run from the older original building — so the hospital today effectively functions across old and new blocks with a combined bed capacity that may be reported differently depending on the source. Today, the facility — officially Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital (STAMCH) — serves as both the district's main public hospital and the primary teaching hospital for STAMC's MBBS students.
