Dr. Sirajul Islam Medical College & Hospital Ltd.

Overview

Dr. Sirajul Islam Medical College & Hospital Ltd. is a private medical college hospital at Malibagh in Dhaka. The college was established in 2011 as a constituent college of the University of Dhaka. Academic classes began on 17 January 2012, a date the institution marks each year as SIMC Day.

The hospital has two roles that run side by side every day. It is a teaching hospital where MBBS students receive clinical training, and it is also a treatment centre open to the general public. Patients come here for consultation, surgery, maternity care, diagnostic work and follow-up after treatment.

The MBBS degree offered by the college is recognised by the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council. The five-year course is followed by a compulsory one-year internship.

Departments

Most clinical departments a family may need are housed in the hospital building. These include Medicine, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, ENT, Cardiology and Oncology. Orthopaedic Surgery and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery are also based here.

Radiology and Imaging supports diagnostic work for patients across the departments. Anaesthesiology works with the surgical teams for operations carried out in the hospital.

Facilities

Patients who need to stay are accommodated in spacious wards and cabins inside the hospital building. Beside the hospital building stands a separate academic block. That block contains lecture galleries, laboratories and a library used for teaching.

Emergency care

Signage on the hospital building advertises 24-hour emergency services. The hospital has dedicated intensive units for different groups of patients on site. Its ICU covers general critical care, while the CCU is for cardiac cases.

The NICU is for newborn babies who need intensive care, and the PICU is for children. Having these units in one building is relevant in this crowded part of Dhaka, where a seriously ill patient may need a nearby hospital. Patients visiting for the first time should confirm the current outpatient and emergency arrangements before setting out, and bring prescriptions and earlier reports or scans with them.

The hospital stands at 12/3, New Circular Road, Malibagh, Moghbazar, Dhaka-1217. It is on the stretch of New Circular Road that runs between Moghbazar and Malibagh. The surrounding area is one of the busier and more densely settled parts of the capital.
