Mandalay General Hospital (Burmese: မန္တလေးပြည်သူ့ဆေးရုံကြီး; abbreviated MGH) is a major teaching hospital in Mandalay, Myanmar, with a bed capacity of 1,000.[1] It serves as the primary teaching institution for University of Medicine, Mandalay, alongside Mandalay Workers' Hospital. It is located on 30th Street, between 74th and 77th Streets in Chanayethazan Township.[2] The hospital treats over 1,2000 patients per day.[1] The hospital is currently led by Chief Tin Tin Moe.[1]
Mandalay General Hospital was founded in 1887 by the British authorities as a civil medical establishment for Upper Burma.[3]
