Gopalganj 250 Bed General Hospital

About Hospital

If you're searching for the main public hospital serving Gopalganj district, you're likely looking for the Gopalganj 250 Bed General Hospital, situated on Bangabandhu Road, Gopalganj Sadar Upazila. As the designated district hospital under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), it functions as the go-to facility for OPD care, emergency treatment, and general admission for residents across Gopalganj.

This shouldn't be confused with the nearby Gopalganj Medical College Hospital (formerly Sheikh Sayera Khatun Medical College, renamed in November 2024) — the two are separate institutions serving different roles, with the 250-bed hospital functioning specifically as the district-level general hospital rather than a tertiary teaching facility.

A notable recent addition to the hospital is a newly built outpatient department complex, funded by UNHCR, which was formally handed over to expand access to modern healthcare for local residents. At the handover, the then Health Minister Zahid Maleque noted that the new OPD wing was equipped to provide services across a wider range of specialties than before, including orthopaedics, cardiology, dentistry, general surgery, and maternal and paediatric care.
