Bangladesh Institute of Health Sciences (formally starting academic courses in public health and technology disciplines under Dhaka University since 2007) became the Apex Hospital of the 20 hospitals/health centres under the Health Care Development Project Network in around Dhaka and in North-Western Bangladesh and, within few years, it could create substantial reputation in academic and research areas. In 2010, a decision was taken to apply for BUHS rather than continuing the effort for BIHS as a deemed University. The Application, submitted in late 2011, was processed through the Ministry of Education and the University Grant Commission and, after the approval by the Honorable Prime Minister, permission has recently been granted to operate the University.

The vision of the Institute is to generate evidence based suggestions which can help the Planners and Policy Makers to develop better health care programs in the country; to facilitate faster interaction among relevant Institutes/Universities in home and abroad to improve the academic and research standards in biomedical fields and to create multidisciplinary environment in biomedical research involving biological, chemical, clinical as well as social sciences as relevant to health.

The universitys foremost priority is to develop qualified and skilled human resources in clinical, basic and allied health sciences & technology with the overall goal for improving health of our population. Its mission to create a Model for an ideal Private University in Bangladesh.
