Aberdare General Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cyffredinol Aberdâr) was a health facility on Abernant Road, Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It was managed by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.
History
[edit]The facility was opened by Joseph Shaw, chairman of the Powell Duffryn, in July 1917.[1] After a major fire on 27 September 1929, the hospital was rebuilt and reopened by the Duchess of York in April 1933.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948[3] but, after services transferred to the Ysbyty Cwm Cynon, Aberdare General Hospital closed in 2012.[4]
