History

Bangladesh Nursing and Midwifery Council traces its origins to East Pakistan Nursing Council, which was established in 1952 as a regulatory agency on nursing services and education. In 1971, following the Independence of Bangladesh, East Pakistan Nursing Council was renamed to Bangladesh Nursing and Midwifery Council.[5][6]
