The West Bengal University Of Health Sciences

West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS) is a Public medical university in Kolkata, West Bengal, which was established in 2003 by an Act of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly for better management of the health and medical education-related courses.The main aim of establishing the university is to upgrade the level of medical teaching in the state.

Since 2003, the University, still a young one, compared to the other renowned universities of the country and abroad; has grown at a pace unparallel to any other universities in the state. The quantum of students under its aegis, the number of courses that are affiliated and the aspiration to be in association with this University have all swelled in an unprecedented rate. The West Bengal University of Health Sciences has weathered turbulent times to administer even standards of medical education in the state with its very limited resources. Given the impending heightened responsibilities to impart medical education to even larger a population of intending students in future; this University would take a leaf out of the past to cater to the needs of the state and the country.
