The East Glamorgan General Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Cyffredinol Dwyrain Morgannwg) was a NHS hospital in Church Village near Pontypridd, Wales which operated 1938–1999. The site has been demolished and redeveloped for housing.

History

The hospital opened in Church Village in 1938. During the Second World War it was used by the Royal Air Force. Princess Diana opened the Children's centre there on 7 October 1992.[1] After the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Talbot Green, opened in November 1999, East Glamorgan General Hospital was demolished and the land used for housing.[2]
