The construction of the hospital complex began in 1986 and King Bhumibol Adulyadej presided over the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the main building on 3 November of that year. The hospital commenced its operation on 5 December 1987, on which the king turned 60 years of age. However, the hospital was formally opened on 29 March 1988.[2] On 19 March 1990, a royal decree was issued to establish a Faculty of Medicine in Thammasat University and the royal decree took effect as from the following day.[3] On 10 April 1990, the hospital formally became a subsidiary of the Faculty of Medicine.[4] On 19 February 2003, the hospital was transferred to the Office of the Rector.[5]
Apart from providing medical services to the general public, the hospital serves as a teaching hospital for the Faculty of Allied Health Science, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing and Faculty of Public Health.
