The Hospital was established in 1971 as a 16-bedded facility to provide treatment in general medicine, child health, obstetrics and gynecology, as well as surgical and dental cases. In recognition of the hospital's attempt for providing better health care for the population of Kanpetlet Township , the Government of Japan decided to fund a solar electric power system, together with equipment such as a dental chair, dental instrument sets, a glucometer, a nebulizer, an electrocardiograph (ECG), a minor operation set and an electric sterilizer .
It is expected that this assistance will improve the hospital's medical service and benefit patients in the area.
