About Comilla Medical College Hospital | COMCH

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.
