Overview of Shaheed Suhrawardi Medical College Dental Unit (ShSMC) Dhaka

Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College (ShSMC) is the 14th government Dental college of Bangladesh which is established in 2006. It is situated in the north-western part of Dhaka beside the National Parliament House, having a unique architectural campus and excellent academic atmosphere. Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital has a long heritage of discharging health care services and also has a proud history of patronizing many medical institutes to establish and flourish. We have a great commitment to provide top class medical education, excellent training and quality research through eminent and experienced teachers.

Shaheed Suhrawardy Hospital was established in 1963 during the period of East Pakistan as Ayub Hospital for outdoor services. It was equipped with Pathological and Radiological supports. In addition to outdoor facilities, this medical organization then extended its service to indoor with 5 beds and subsequently with 25 beds.

After independence through the great liberation war against Pakistan in 1971, the hospital had been renamed as Shaheed Suhrawardy Hospital against the name of Hossain Shaheed Suhrawardy, the living son of democracy. This hospital has magnificent architectural beauty designed by famous architect Louis I Kahn who also designed the National Assembly Hall of Bangladesh, one of the best architectural buildings of the world. The hospital was then extended gradually in different forms as general hospital to extend services to this area as well to serve as central referral centre from whole Bangladesh especially the area of northern and western part of Bangladesh.
