Jahurul Islam Medical College & Hospital

Overview

Jahurul Islam Medical College and Hospital is a private medical college with an attached teaching hospital at Bhagalpur, Bajitpur, Kishoreganj. It is not a standalone hospital only, because medical education and treatment operate together on the same rural campus. Philanthropist Jahurul Islam established it through the Aftab-Rahima Welfare Trust.

The hospital began in August 1989 as a 250-bed facility, and the medical college followed in 1992. The college is affiliated to the University of Dhaka as a constituent college. The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council recognises the college's MBBS degree.

Departments

Hospital departments cover general medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology and obstetrics, and paediatric care for children. Cardiac care, eye care, gastroenterology, anaesthesia and nephrology care with dialysis are also listed among its clinical services. Physiotherapy supports recovery after injury, surgery and illness for admitted and visiting patients.

Teaching and treatment are linked in daily work here, as in any medical college hospital. Students learn within the hospital setting while patients receive care through its departments and wards. Patients travel here from Kishoreganj and nearby districts.

Diagnostic services

Pathology and laboratory medicine support diagnosis across the hospital's departments. Test results help the treating teams plan surgery, medical treatment, dialysis and follow-up care. These diagnostic services work together with the emergency unit, the wards and the outpatient consultations on campus.

Facilities

The self-contained campus includes a nursing college, separate hostels for male and female students, and dormitories for doctors. Staff quarters and a dedicated dormitory for patients' attendants are also part of the campus. A central mosque and a central cafeteria serve students, staff, patients and visitors.

The attendant dormitory helps families who travel from outside Bajitpur with a patient. Accommodation, food and prayer facilities inside the campus reduce repeated journeys during treatment. These facilities support the hospital but are separate from its clinical services.

Emergency care

The hospital provides emergency services around the clock on its campus. Emergency care is supported by intensive care, laboratory, pharmacy and imaging facilities within the same premises. Urgent patients can therefore be assessed and stabilised without transfer elsewhere first.

Location and access

The campus is located at Vagolpur-Bajitpur Bazar Road, Bhagalpur, Bajitpur, Kishoreganj 2336, Bangladesh. It stands in Bhagalpur village, a rural setting within Bajitpur Upazila of Kishoreganj district. Visitors travelling from other districts should allow time for the road journey to the campus.

Information about the hospital and college is published through their respective official websites. A Dhaka liaison office also serves people needing information before travelling to Kishoreganj. Patients and students should confirm current arrangements through official channels.
