History
Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital was constructed following the increase in usage of the Abhakornkiatiwong Hospital of Sattahip Naval Base, the increase in naval personnel and the development of the nearby U-Tapao International Airport and industrial areas such as Map Ta Phut. At the same time, this coincided with "The Celebrations on the Auspicious of Her Majesty the Queen's 5th Cycle Birthday Anniversary" and therefore Queen Sirikit came and laid the foundation of the hospital on 18 August 1992. The construction was completed on 20 November 1995.[1]
