History

In 1942, following the establishment of the Ministry of Public Health, the policy of constructing hospitals in all provinces was initiated. Towards the end of 1948, Yala Health Station was elevated to hospital status as Yala Hospital, with its official opening on 1 January 1949. It reached regional hospital status on 15 July 1987. The hospital has an agreement to train medical students and act as a clinical teaching hospital with the Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University under the Collaborative Project to Increase Production of Rural Doctors (CPIRD) program.[1][2]

Yala Hospital is the largest tertiary care referral hospital for injuries from the South Thailand insurgency within the three provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat where the conflict is most concentrated.
