History

Khukhan Health Station was opened in 1908 to serve the citizens of Khukhan Province (the former name of Sisaket Province). It was refurbished in 1934. In 1938, Khukhan Province was renamed Sisaket Province and the health station was therefore renamed Sisaket Health Station. The hospital was further expanded during the First Indochina War and World War II as a military base was established in the area. On 1 December 1948, the health station was officially elevated to hospital level and renamed Sisaket Hospital.[1] In 1998, the hospital made an agreement to train medical students and act as a clinical teaching hospital for the College of Medicine and Public Health, Ubon Ratchathani University under the Collaborative Project to Increase Production of Rural Doctors (CPIRD) program.[2]
