Bangladesh’s State Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Dr. M A Muhit, has issued a stern warning against irregularities in private medical colleges. During a recent visit to his ministry on a holiday afternoon, he reviewed several files and discovered serious violations. In a subsequent video message, he declared that institutions operating without proper authorization from the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC) or lacking essential infrastructure such as hospitals, patients, and qualified staff would not be allowed to continue.

Dr. Muhit criticized colleges functioning like commercial enterprises rather than educational institutions, noting that some lacked their own land or deposit documents. He expressed concern that untrained graduates from such colleges could endanger public health and that parents were being deceived after investing their life savings. He emphasized that every private medical college must maintain a minimum standard of facilities, manpower, and patient availability.

Reiterating the government’s commitment to building a “Bangladesh of rules from irregularities,” the minister vowed to shut down what he described as “factories producing fake doctors.”
