Glangwili General Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cyffredinol Glangwili), previously known as West Wales General Hospital, is a general hospital in Carmarthen, Wales. It is managed by Hywel Dda University Health Board.
The hospital opened as the West Wales General Hospital in 1949. It changed its name to Glangwili General Hospital following a vote in 2010.[1]
In September 2014 a new renal dialysis unit run by Fresenius Medical Care Renal Services Ltd was opened at the hospital, with a contract to run for at least seven years.[2] As part of the reorganisation of acute services in Wales a full-time inpatient paediatric service was provided at Glangwili from October 2014.[3]
