Preface

In the democratic society in a welfare state access to basic healthcare is a birthright of every citizen as endorsed in the United Nations Charter.

As a member of the United Nations Organization the Government of Bangladesh is also committed to healthcare of its people. Every nation has aspirations and cherished goals. A government of the people must inculcate its people's support and cooperation as complementary measure to achieve the national goals. And any institution built on this perspective must have clear concept, conviction and objectives to meet the dire challenge of the national needs in the health sector.

Community Based Medical College Bangladesh, established in 1995, by Community Health Foundation Bangladesh is a college with a difference. This institution is built with the following objectives:

Conceptual objectives :

1. To develop a community orientated medical education system which shall support.

2. a community orientated healthcare delivery system within the concept of  National Health Policy

3. to contribute modestly within the parameter of health and social science to the overall national efforts in achieving    meaningful, self-sustaining quality of life and environment.

Institutional objectives :

1. To develop an educational system catering to the felt-needs and problems of  the community with 

    built-in flexible academic strategies based on continued feedback, monitoring, analytic and evaluation

    mechanism now aptly called Quality Assurance Mechanism.

2. to bring about qualitative attitudinal change in the terminal behavioral trait of the passing out doctors

    grooming them as sympathetically responsive and empathetically active towards patients;

    professionally competent and ethically sound persons of the society.

To achieve these objectives we must start from somewhere.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". 

Community Based Medical College Bangladesh began its journey in 1995 and has already produced 436 medical graduates

of whom 258 are male and 178 female under the University of  Dhaka.
