The vision of establishing Navy Medical College, Chattogram (NMCC) emerged from the Bangladesh Navy’s longstanding commitment to serving the nation beyond the seas. Recognizing the growing demand for high-quality medical education and healthcare delivery, the Navy took the initiative to set up a medical college that reflects the core values of naval service — discipline, dedication, and excellence.
Chattogram was chosen as the location for this prestigious institution for several compelling reasons. As Bangladesh’s principal port city and a hub of commerce, industry, and naval activity, Chattogram represents both tradition and modernity. It is home to one of the largest naval establishments of the country, ensuring a supportive environment and access to naval infrastructure. Moreover, its strategic coastal position allows the college to serve not only the local population but also wider regions through healthcare and outreach programs.
Thus, Navy Medical College, Chattogram was conceived as a beacon of medical excellence in the port city, poised to produce doctors who are academically competent, morally upright, and globally competitive.
Before its inception, the proposal for NMCC underwent rigorous scrutiny by the Government of Bangladesh. Key milestones in its journey to official recognition include:
The approval process demonstrates the government’s confidence in NMCC’s infrastructure, governance, and academic readiness. This recognition ensures that the MBBS degree awarded through NMCC is equivalent to other BMDC-recognized medical colleges in Bangladesh.
