Tairunnessa Memorial Medical College is
an institution of Tairunnessa Memorial Medical Centre Limited. Since its
inception, Tairunnessa Memorial Medical Centre has been playing an important
role in developing human resources for health in Bangladesh. With the
initiative of its Founder Chairman M. Shamsul Hoque, it started its journey
with a small outpatient department, at Konia, Gazipur which over the years
has turned into an impressive prestigious hospital and research complex
- TMMC Hospital, with 150 bedded multidisciplinary hospital complex -
has been recognized nationally and internationally as a centre of excellence
for heart diseases and research.
To maintain the reputation of TMMC Medical Centre in the field of higher
education and research and to remain in the forefront of health care services,
technology and education - increasing the need for highly motivated professionally
competent manpower for the health sector can hardly be emphasized. It
is in this context, the founder chairman decided to establish Tairunnessa
Memorial Medical College and develop it as a centre of excellence, so
as to demonstrate a high standard of graduate education in Medicine, so
badly needed in the country. The chairman also resolved to name the college
after his mother, late Tairunnessa, a great social reformer.
