Hatyai Hospital
Hospital in Hat Yai, Songkhla, Thailand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hatyai Hospital (Thai: โรงพยาบาลหาดใหญ่) is a hospital in Hat Yai, Songkhla Province, Thailand. It is classified as a regional hospital under the Ministry of Public Health, and it is one of two main hospitals operated by the MOPH in the province, the other being Songkhla Hospital. It serves as a referral centre for nearby community hospitals mainly within Songkhla, but also in parts of Pattani and Satun Provinces. It nominally has a capacity of 640 beds, but as is often the case with most regional hospitals, it faces problems of overcrowding and is overcapacity most of the time.
