Mandalay General Hospital (Burmese: မန္တလေး��ြည်သူ့ဆေးရုံကြီး; abbreviated MGH) is a major teaching hospital in Mandalay, Myanmar, with a bed capacity of 1,500.[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 1,200 patients per day.[1] The hospital is currently led by Dr Su Su Dwe.[1]

Mandalay General Hospital was founded in 1887 by the British authorities as a civil medical establishment for Upper Burma.[3]

In 2013, Mandalay General Hospital began a major expansion project, at a cost of US$2.88 million, to construct a 10-storey building to house an additional 500 beds.[4] The building was inaugurated on 28 March 2015.[1]
