History

Jahurul Islam Medical College, the Hospital, and the Nursing Training Institute have been established under the Aftab Rahima Welfare Trust as a conglomerate offering medical education, research, hospital care, and training in nursing services. The complex is situated in Bhagalpur village of Bajitpur thana of Kishoregonj district.

The great philanthropist of this area, Late Mr. Jahurul Islam, is the founder of these organizations in his native land.

Bhagalpur Bajitpur is about 110 km northeast of Dhaka city. It is connected by the Egaro Shindur Express train and has excellent road connections with the capital. In either way, Bhagalpur can be reached within three hours.

In the first phase in 1989, a 250-bed hospital was put into service. At present, there are more than 500 beds covering all the departments of a general tertiary-level teaching hospital.

The College is entirely self-contained with academic buildings housing all departments, laboratories, library, museums, dissection hall, lecture theaters, cafeteria, student hostels, and faculty housing.
