Southern Medical College & Hospital

Southern Medical College & Hospital | Fortune Education

Southern Medical College & Hospital (SMCH) was established in 2005. The College is affiliated with Chittagong University as a constituent college since & Recognized by BCPS, aiming to give the nation a group of luminous medical graduates who can help the have-nots by providing the highest possible quality of compassionate and cost-effective care and treatment, to each and every patient, producing high levels of patient satisfaction. The main object of the institute is to demonstrate high-standard of medical education, training of personnel, and conducting experiments and research in various disciplines of medical sciences. The aim of our college is not to make only doctors but to make sensitive human beings.

The number of medical colleges is not enough to meet the requirement of people. To make our students dynamic we have already contacted some foreign medical colleges to get real-time lessons from reputed medical colleges through teleconferencing, video conferencing, etc. Our faculties are not only teachers but mentors as well. Our institution has facilities to train Medical and Paramedical staff. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life through improved health care, the preparation of those professionals who will serve the health needs of others, and the discovery of knowledge that will benefit us all.

We cannot deny social responsibility but why did we choose the health sector? The ratio of physicians to patients is inadequate in Bangladesh. Moreover, most people can not afford the cost of treatment. All around us, humans are suffering from painful bites of maladies of different kinds and we cannot remain heedless to their cries.

To fight against the diseases and to cure and comfort men and women we set up this medical college that is equipped with all modern facilities which have a charitable air. Here poor people get the best treatment without any discrimination.

Our hospital is functioning quite well. We are planning to make specialized departments in our hospital block. Initially, our focal point is to be specialized in Nephrology. So we have taken the initiative to set up the facility for Kidney dialysis.

It is notable that only two hospitals in Chittagong have this facility but the low-income group people do not have the access to this service, but the door of Southern Medical College & Hospital is always open to those deprived people. Secondly, we are contemplating developing our Orthopedic Department as Chattogram is still lagging behind in this arena. But we never say our way was smooth and throne-free but we overcame all the impediments.

We will keep our endeavor moving forward but we need people of all social strata, especially parents and students to stand beside us to make this noble effort successful. We believe we can make a better future by cooperating with each other.

About Chittagong

Chittagong, officially Chattogram is a major coastal city and financial center in southeastern Bangladesh. The city had a population of more than 8.7 million in 2017, making it the second-largest city in the country. It is the capital and administrative seat of an eponymous District and Division. The city is located on the banks of the Karnaphuli River between the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Bay of Bengal. Modern Chittagong is Bangladesh’s second most significant urban center after Dhaka.

Chittagong plays a vital role in the Bangladeshi economy. The Port of Chittagong, one of the world’s oldest ports, whose coast appeared on Ptolemy’s world map, is the principal maritime gateway to the country. The port is the busiest international seaport on the Bay of Bengal and the third busiest in South Asia. The Chittagong Stock Exchange is one of the country’s two stock markets. Several Chittagong-based companies are among the largest industrial conglomerates and enterprises in Bangladesh.

The port city is the largest base of the Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Coast Guard; while the Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Air Force also maintain bases and contribute to the city’s economy. Chittagong is the headquarters of the Eastern Zone of the Bangladesh Railway, has historically been the headquarters of British India‘s Assam Bengal Railway and East Pakistan’s Pakistan Eastern Railway. A ship-breaking industry on the outskirts of the city supplies local steel.

Chittagong is an ancient seaport due to its natural harbor. It was noted as one of the largest Eastern ports by the Roman geographer Ptolemy in the 1st century. The harbor has been a gateway through southeastern Bengal in the Indian subcontinent for centuries. Arab sailors and traders, who once explored the Bay of Bengal, set up a mercantile station in the harbor during the 9th century. During the 14th century, the port became a “mint town” of the Sultanate of Bengal, with the status of an administrative center.
