National University is exploring plans to establish a medical city in Bangladesh with support from Brookdale University Hospital in New York. The proposed National University Medical City would bring together a hospital, a medical college and nursing training facilities.

National University Vice-Chancellor Professor ASM Amanullah discussed the proposal with Dr Mujibur R Majumder, whom the release identified as a director of the hospital, at a meeting in Brooklyn on Wednesday (11 November, 2026), according to the press release.

Majumder outlined a preliminary plan for a campus that would provide specialist healthcare and train doctors and nurses. They discussed drawing on US experience in hospital management, medical technology and clinical education.

Before the meeting, Amanullah toured several hospital departments to learn how the facility uses technology, delivers patient care and manages its operations.

Amanullah and Majumder expressed interest in working together on the proposal. They also discussed presenting the plan to the Prime Minister’s Office and seeking government support to develop the project.

Majumder is the founding president of the US chapter of the BNP and a former foreign affairs adviser to the party’s chairperson, the release said.

Mohammad Karim Chowdhury, president of ASAAL and National University’s representative in the US, joined the visit. Motahar Hossain, a US-based BNP leader who works as an accountant and tax consultant in New York’s healthcare sector, also attended.
