History
Chao Phraya Yommarat Hospital was built in 1926 by money donated by Chao Phraya Yommarat (Pan Sukhum), minister of Suphan Buri as a two-storey concrete building, overlooking the Tha Chin River. In 1942, the hospital became a provincial hospital, became managed by the Ministry of Public Health and expanded to have Surgery, Internal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynaecology buildings. An ER unit was added in 1991.
The hospital became classified as a regional hospital in 2001, then with 503 beds and has since expanded to 680 beds in the present-day.[2]
