Burdwan Dental College

Burdwan Medical College is a public hospital and medical college situated in Burdwan, Purba Bardhaman, West Bengal, spread over approximately 253 acres. The decision to build a hospital there was made on 13 July 1907, leading to the inauguration of Frazer Hospital on 9 November 1910 with 127 indoor beds. In 1921 the hospital became a medical school named Ronaldshay Medical School. In 1969 it was renamed Burdwan University Medical College, affiliated with the University of Burdwan, though early batches faced infrastructural difficulties. On 4 August 1976, the Government of West Bengal took over the institution, renaming it Burdwan Medical College. It remained under the academic jurisdiction of Burdwan University until 2003, when it came under the West Bengal University of Health Sciences. The college is recognised by the National Medical Commission and admits students through NEET-UG, offering MBBS and postgraduate courses, with an undergraduate intake of 200 students per year since 2019. Bijay Chand Hospital, now known as Burdwan Medical College & Hospital, is the largest hospital in Purba Bardhaman and is associated with the college.
