History

The hospital was established in 1898 with the royal permission of King Chulalongkorn for the aim of providing of services for large number prostitutes in this area in order to prevent the spread of epidemics. But when the building was finished with no budget, the Patrol Hospital then asked for a place. Therefore, at the initial stage of service opening, therefore called Patrol Hospital to provide services to police officers and patients from various cases on July 7, 1900, with the addition of 36 beds for patients after opening service. It appears that not only the policemen and patients from various cases that have been treated, but still have civilians to receive treatment as well.
