More about Yangon General Hospital

The Yangon General Hospital is a major public hospital in Yangon, Myanmar. Located in a compound, the 2,000-bed hospital consists of four Medical Wards, three surgical wards, one trauma and orthopaedic ward, and 28 specialist departments for inpatient care. The hospital also runs an ER for general medicine, general surgery and traumatology. The hospital has around 2000 staffs to work around the clock to serve the long list of patients.YGH, known for its Victorian-style architecture, with red brick and yellow-painted trimmings, is also the Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital of University of Medicine 1, Yangon, the Yangon Institute of Nursing, and the University of Paramedical Science, Yangon.YGH like all other civilian hospitals in Myanmar lacks many of the basic facilities and equipment. Although public health care is nominally free, in reality, patients have to pay for medicine and treatment. One important advantage of YGH does have over hospitals in rural areas is the superior quality of its medical staff since it is the main teaching hospital of the country's premier medical school. The hospital mainly serves the masses who cannot afford to attend private hospitals in Yangon or go abroad for "medical tourism".HistoryThe Yangon General Hospital was established in 1899 as the Rangoon General Hospital with a capacity of 342 beds during the British colonial era. The 3-story Victorian-style main building was opened on 6 May 1905. After World War II, the hospital underwent renovations and had a capacity of 546 beds. In 1964, new specialist wards were added, and the capacity was increased to 1500 beds.
