Uttara Adhunik Medical College

Brief history of Uttara Adhunik Medical College

Way back in 1984 in the middle of a monopoly trend of Govt. medical services a group of prudent, wise men had foreseen the scope of medical education in private sectors in Bangladesh and attempted to bring a revolutionary change with the establishment of Bangladesh medical studies research institute (BMSRI). It was the strong devotion of such remarkable individuals which resulted in formation of Bangladesh medical college (BMC); the first private medical college and the milestone in the history of private medical colleges in Bangladesh. Since then BMSRI has successfully contributed in opening new avenues for the health workers & physicians in the private sector. Uttara Adhunik Medical College & Hospital is the latest addition to many other successful institutions grown under the aegis of BMSRI.

The dynamic leadership of BMSRI ensured the enrichment of Bangladesh medical college which has further expanded into the culminated creation of a huge hospital complex at Uttara, known as Uttara Adhunik Hospital. Initially the hospital started with an outdoor facility on the 12th. March 2003. Indoor facilities were available on 10th March 2005. This hospital with a capacity of 500 beds is now registered by the ministry of health and family welfare, government of the people’s republic of Bangladesh.

In the year of 2007 BMSRI added ‘Uttara Adhunik Medical College’ as its latest unit. The College started its journey in 22nd January 2008 with enrolment of fifty students. Since then college has undergone tremendous development and has been recognized as an excellent seat of learning and motivation. UAMC has been affiliated with Dhaka University from the very beginning (since 2008). The hospital and medical college is proud of its excellent staff and the faculty of whom many have decades of experience in running medical institutes in private and government sectors. It is the dedication of all the members of UAMC&H that has made this institute earn its rightful position & proved itself as the center of excellence in the private medical sector in such a short distance of time.
