Mountain Ash General Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cyffredinol Mountain Ash) was a health facility on Duffryn Road, Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It was managed by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.

History

The facility has its origins in the Mountain Ash Cottage Hospital which was established in 1910.[1] The current structure was opened by Lord Aberdare as the Mountain Ash and Penrhiwceiber General Hospital in 1924.[2] It joined the National Health Service as Mountain Ash General Hospital in 1948[3] but, after services transferred to the Ysbyty Cwm Cynon, the general hospital closed in 2012.[4]
