History[edit | edit source]

In the early 1950s, Trang only had a health station in the city center and its operations were transferred to the Ministry of Public Health in 1951. Limited space meant expanding the hospital was difficult, so plans were proposed to build a new hospital on a 53 rai land of the Royal Treasury at Khuan Han. Construction began in 1951 and the hospital was opened on 12 April 1954 with a capacity of 25 beds. Locals called it 'Khuan Han Hospital' due to its location. In 1974, Trang Hospital became a general hospital with a capacity of 280 beds, and eventually became a regional hospital in 1997.
