History
The hospital opened as the West Wales General Hospital in 1949.[1] It changed its name to Glangwili General Hospital following a vote in 2010.[2]
In September 2014 a new renal dialysis unit run by Fresenius Medical Care Renal Services Ltd was opened at the hospital, with a contract to run for at least seven years.[3] As part of the reorganisation of acute services in Wales a full-time inpatient paediatric service was provided at Glangwili from October 2014.[4]
