Habiganj Medical College, established in 2016, exemplifies the systemic challenges faced by sixteen government-run medical institutions across Bangladesh. Nearly a decade after its inception, the college still lacks a dedicated campus, forcing it to operate within the confines of the Habiganj 250-bed District Sadar Hospital. Academic activities are restricted to limited space across three floors, with only five classrooms available for instruction. The institution suffers from a severe deficit of faculty members, functional laboratories, and practical training facilities. Furthermore, the absence of student hostels and dedicated hospital infrastructure has led to significant dissatisfaction among the student body. These infrastructural deficiencies hinder the quality of medical education and highlight the urgent need for government intervention to secure land and provide essential resources for these struggling academic institutions.
