Yangon General Hospital (Template:Lang-my; formerly known as the Rangoon General Hospital), built in 1911 is a major hospital located in Yangon. It is located on Lanmadaw Road. It is particularly known for its Victorian-style architecture (although dilapidated), which consists of red brick and yellow-painted trimmings. A new Emergency Ward has been constructed on the western part of the compound. The University of Medicine-1 is also attached to the hospital compound.
The building was a major massacre site during the 8888 Uprising, in which injured patients, assumed to have taken part in the anti-government protests, were killed by the Tatmadaw. The hospital is closed to tourists. The hospital was also the site of Aung San Suu Kyi's first public speech, on 24 August 1988.
