History
In 1978-1979, the Bangladesh government planned to establish medical colleges at Bogra, Comilla, Dinajpur, Faridpur, Kushtia, Khulna, Noakhali and Pabna with a view to improve the healthcare services in the country. Subsequently, the programme was abandoned. Than the government felt the need for more medical colleges for medical education facilities. Accordingly, the government committed to establish four new medical colleges at Kushtia, Satkhira, Gopalganj and Kishoreganj with annual intakes of 52 students at each. The college was established in 2011. In 2011 it started educational service in a part of general hospital. Now it is a modern and technology based medical college and it is running with a 250 bed hospital.
Campus
Construction work of a permanent campus of Kushtia Medical College started in 2013 at a cost of Tk. 275 crore. However, due to bureaucratic complications and negligence on the part of the contractor, the construction of permanent campus has been repeatedly extended.
