History

In 1935, a health station opened along the banks of the Bang Pakong River in Chachoengsao Town, operating under the management of the Mueang Chachoengsao Municipality. It expanded into a hospital in 1939 and was named Mueang Chachoengsao Hospital. In 1950, the hospital was transferred to the Department of Medical Services, MOPH. In 1974, the hospital was again transferred to the Office of the Permanent Secretary, MOPH. On 22 June 2011, the hospital was renamed Buddhasothorn Hospital in reverence of the 'Luangpho Phuttha Sothon' buddhist image at Wat Sothonwararam.[2]

On 19 July 2007, the hospital cooperated with the Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University to train doctors as part of the Collaborative Project to Increase Rural Doctor (CPIRD) Program.[3]
