History
editUdon Thani Hospital was built on land initially owned by the Ministry of Education which was used as housing for staff under the ministry working in Monthon Udon. When the housing turned to disuse, this land was transferred to the MOPH in 1951 and designated for the construction of a hospital. However, funding was little and thus some donations were received from the Thung Sri Mueang annual festival. The hospital had its foundation stone laid on 29 June 1953 and the hospital completed and opened on 24 April 1954.[3] In 2007, the hospital made an agreement to train medical students and act as a clinical teaching hospital for the Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University and about one hundred medical students are trained here annually under the Collaborative Project to Increase Production of Rural Doctors (CPIRD) program.[1]
