History
[edit]Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College was established on 5 November 1992. At first, it was started as a medical college collaborating with Mohammad Ali Hospital, Bogra. In 2006, a brand new hospital and college campus was constructed on the outskirts of Bogra city, beside the Dhaka-Rangpur highway, named on the basis of once President Ziaur Rahman, who was born at Bogra. On 31 August 2006, the new campus at Silimpur started its journey. Previously about 50 students could get the chance to study there through nationwide examination for admission to public medical colleges of the country every year. From 2005, the numbers increased to about 180.[1]
In July 2024, students of the medical college protested and expressed support for the students during the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement and blockaded a part of the Dhaka-Rangpur highway.[2]
In August 2024, student politics and other types of politics was banned in the institution to prevent political violence in the medical college.[3]
