The
foundation stone of the Cumilla or Comilla Medical College (COMCH) was laid on November
1979. In order to ensure modern medical and hospitality services for the people
of Greater Comilla and Noakhali region in the central part of Dhaka, Chittagong
and to keep pace with the growing population, to acquire and implement the plan
were established to set up a medical college and hospital in Comilla district. That
time, the government acquired 15 acres of land near the building of MATS (Medical
Assistant Training School) and in the academic year 1981-82 only 50 students
were admitted in the first year of M.B.B.S. course.
But
later the government decided to stop the activities of Comilla Medical College
and set up a 250-bed hospital at the acquired site. The academic activities were
stopped in 1982 and all students were transferred to different government
Medical Colleges in the country. But due to the continuous demand of local
people, Bangladesh Medical Association & political leaders, Comilla Medical
College restart its education in 1992 based on the infrastructure of MATS, the
hospital was opened on January 1992. And a 250 bed Modernized Hospital started
its function in the Comilla region after completion of the building.
As
it is essential to transform this hospital into a medical college hospital for
the clinical training of the students studying in this college, this hospital
with 250 beds was renamed as “Comilla Medical College Hospital” without any
infrastructural changes. All facilities of MATS including manpower merged with
Medical College. 50 students were admitted in the session 1991-92. The number
of students was doubled to 100 from the session 2005-2006 and admitted of
students 117 from the session 2011-2012. The infrastructural development work
of establishing a full fledged Medical College Hospital has been completed and
handed over on July 2008. Later it was upgraded to 500 beds in 2009
respectively.
