History
There was a hospital called Tongi Government Hospital in the past. A new hospital building was constructed on the land of that hospital later. In 2017, the government announced the name of the new hospital, named after Ahsanullah Master, in a notification about two months after the inauguration of the hospital. However, one year after the inauguration of the new building, the new building could not be used to serve the patients due to modern equipment, inadequate doctors and other problems. There are also many more complaints about the hospital. In 2020, the hospital was one of the COVID-19 test centers. On 25 April 2021, a hospital surgeon died of the coronavirus. It was one of the dengue dedicated hospitals in 2021. In 2022, three people were arrested for obstructing the submission of hospital tenders. On 7 September 2024, locals of the hospital area protested to revert the hospital's name to former.
