Jashore Medical College Hospital (JMCH), formerly known as Jessore Medical College Hospital, is a government tertiary-level teaching hospital located at Chanchra, Shankarpur, near the New Bus Terminal in Jashore. It is one of the largest hospitals in southern Bangladesh, with a rated capacity of 500 beds and the practical ability to accommodate more than 1,000 patients at any given time.
Jashore Medical College itself was established in 2010, as the government expanded medical education access across the country's district-level cities. In its earliest years, according to Wikipedia, the college continued its hospital activities at the pre-existing Jessore 250-Bed General Hospital, since a dedicated campus and teaching hospital of its own had not yet been built. Over time, JMCH developed into its own large, purpose-built facility at Horinar Beel near Chanchra, distinct from the older Jessore General Hospital, which continues to operate separately today - the two should not be confused when looking up contact details.
The hospital's scale reflects its role as a major southern referral centre: it operates 17 operation theatres, split across 12 general theatres, two emergency theatres, one dedicated labour theatre, and two theatres reserved for daily scheduled procedures. In recent years, JMCH has also added specialised departments in cancer treatment, urology, and radiotherapy, expanding beyond the core general medical and surgical services it started with. The hospital is additionally accredited by the Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons (BCPS) to conduct postgraduate residency training, giving it a role in shaping specialist doctors as well as treating patients.
