Read this first: general information only, not medical advice. The most important structural fact on this page is that Yasothon's two private hospitals belong to a single listed operator, so the province has private capacity but not private competition. Where published figures conflict — as they do for Yasothon Hospital's bed count — we say so rather than pick one.
The hospitals
| Facility | Type | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Yasothon Hospital (โรงพยาบาลยโสธร) | Public — Ministry of Public Health | The provincial general hospital, in Tat Thong on the Route 23 belt. The main public facility for the province. Published bed counts differ between directories and we have not verified one, so we do not quote a figure. |
| Dr. Hann Hospital | Private | Established 12 June 1990, at 160–164 Wittaya Thamrong Road in the Nai Mueang town centre — the walkable option from the old town. |
| Ruampat Yasothon Hospital | Private | A medium-sized general hospital: 59 registered beds, 5 outpatient examination rooms, 2 major operating theatres, 1 delivery room and 15 dialysis machines, with 37 physicians as of 31 March 2025. |
| District hospitals | Public | Each of the nine districts is served by community hospitals, including Maha Chana Chai and Kut Chum, handling routine and emergency care outside the capital. |
| Sub-district health centres | Public | The standard Thai primary-care network reaches into the 78 tambon and 885 villages across the province. |
What stays here and what gets referred
Yasothon handles routine and moderate care well by provincial standards. The public provincial hospital and the district network cover primary care, maternity, routine surgery and emergency stabilisation; the two private hospitals add faster outpatient access, and Ruampat Yasothon's fifteen dialysis machines mean renal patients are not automatically forced out of the province. Complex cardiology, oncology, neurosurgery, major trauma and most sub-specialist work are referred toward Ubon Ratchathani, which is the regional tertiary centre 100km east on Route 23. If you are choosing Yasothon with a known chronic condition, the sensible move is to confirm before you move whether your specific care can be delivered locally or will mean regular trips east.
Two hospitals, one operator — why it matters
It is easy to read "two private hospitals" as a sign of a healthy local market. Here it is not. Dr. Hann Hospital and Ruampat Yasothon Hospital both sit within the same listed hospital group, which also runs Mukdahan International Hospital. In practice that means one set of pricing decisions, one referral network and one standard of service across both. It is not a criticism of either facility — it is simply a fact you should know before assuming that a second opinion or a better price is a short drive away. For genuine private choice, the nearest market is Ubon Ratchathani.
