Medical College of Kushtia

Kushtia Medical College

Kushtia Medical College is situated at Hospital more of Kushtia district. Its establishment was a dream to the prohibitants of Kushtia. At last the dream comes true. The join secretary of Bangladesh Awami League Mahbubul Alam Hanif has launched the medical college. First the college started with only 50 students and every session they admit only 50 students. The students are learning only on 3 disciplines Anatomy, Physiology and Bio- chemistry. The principle of KMC is Dr. Iftikhar Mahmud. There is no individual campus of the college so the classes are now taking at Kushtia Medical Assistant School campus. Their office is now using as the medical college office. There was no residence facility of the college so temporarily they are using 2 hostels of the medical assistant school hostels. Mats is using as the principal’s office. The principal appointed on 9th October. For the medical college purpose 25 acres land has been taken at the Lahini para, outside of the main Kushtia town. A hospital with 500 beds and offices will be set there. The main construction will start soon. Total 15 lecturers are here from total post of 45. All of them are transferred from other medical colleges. There is a risk of system breaking education system of the college without taking any alternative arrangements. The classes start from August 3, 2014. Principal of the college said that, lecturers are the life of any college. They create the fundamentals of the students. From the 15 lecturers one is for anatomy, three is for Biochemistry; two is for Forensics and five for the others. Teachers and students said, practical hand training, tutorials, oral examinations are taken by the lectures. For this reason every one becomes concerned about the lack of lecturers. One of the second year students says, a lecturer is taking one class in a week. They remain unavailable on the other days. So we are facing problems. The principal says that this problem will be fade away very soon. Thus Kushtia Medical College is one the medical colleges in Bangladesh facing its internal problems. The govt. is working for the welfare of the college. One of the builder of the college campus said that the construction will be end soon. Then the problem will solve. Own campus is always great for the teachers and the students to learn.
