Khon Kaen Hospital is the main public hospital of Khon Kaen Province, located on Sri Chan Road in the city centre. Constructed in 1947 and opened on 1 January 1951 as three one-storey wooden buildings, it expanded significantly through the 1950s–60s and today operates as a regional hospital under Thailand's Ministry of Public Health, reported at roughly 1,100 beds. It hosts a CPIRD Medical Education Center that trains doctors for Khon Kaen University's Faculty of Medicine, working alongside — but distinct from — the university's own Srinagarind Hospital. As Khon Kaen's main provincial public facility, it offers dramatically lower costs than the city's private hospitals, at the trade-off of longer waits and more limited English-language support.

As a Thai public hospital, Khon Kaen Hospital is oriented primarily toward the general Thai population rather than international patients, with more limited English-language support than the private Khon Kaen Ram Hospital — expect a public-hospital experience (longer waits, much lower cost) and confirm current services directly with the hospital.
