'''Bahawal Victoria Hospital''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|بہاول وکٹوریہ سپتال}}}}, abbreviated as '''BVH''') is located in [[Bahawalpur]], [[Pakistan]], started functioning as a [[Civil Hospital]] with an outdoor department and a [[dispensary]] and an [[operating theatre]] in 1876. In 1906 this health unit was named Bahawal Victoria Hospital.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dawn.com/news/200511|title=BVH centenary slips unnoticed|last=Gill|first=Majeed|date=2006-07-08|website=DAWN.COM|language=en|access-date=2019-06-23}}</ref> Now it is a hub of clinical expertise both in specialties as well as in sub-specialties with a multitude of patients visiting the hospital. In 1952, a benevolent extension of Nursing School was brought about with an anticipation to render rash and prompt basic health amenities. Classes leading to L.S.M.F were also started in 1956.<ref>{{Citation|last=Chaudhry|first=Ammar|title=Bahawal Victoria Hospital|date=2009-08-08|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/ammarkh/3804464335/|access-date=2019-06-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://hospital.move.pk/about.php|title=Bahawal Victoria Hospital}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.drnajeeblectures.com/qaid-e-azam-medical-college/|title=QAMC - Quaid e Azam Medical College, Bahawalpur.|website=Dr. Najeeb Lectures|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1549247/1-deplorable-condition-bahawal-victoria-hospital-royal-mess/|title=Bahawal Victoria Hospital is a 'royal mess'|last=Tribune.com.pk|date=2017-11-04|website=The Express Tribune|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-23}}</ref> Its nexus with [[Quaid e Azam Medical College]] ([[QAMC]]) in 1970 has transformed it into one of the largest [[tertiary care]] facilities in the province of [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]].
