The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BM&DC) was formed under the Bangladesh Medical Council Act. This act was made in 1973, hence it is also called 1973 Act of Bangladesh Medical Council.[1]
It is located in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka in 203, Shaheed Sayed Nazrul Islam Sarani (86, Bijoy Nagar). Its function is to give registration to medical and dental graduates to practice medicine and dentistry in Bangladesh. It maintains the official register of medical practitioners within Bangladesh. Its chief responsibility is to "protect, promote and maintain the health and safety of the public" by controlling entry to the register, and suspending or removing members when necessary. It also sets the standards for medical colleges in Bangladesh. Unregistered, suspended or removed members are not allowed to practice medicine in Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council is the regulatory authority and the custodian of medical and dental basic and higher education in Bangladesh.
