Vajira Hospital is the fourth public hospital built in Siam, founded in 1913 (B.E. 2455) by H.M. the King Vajiravudh. It is one of the first hospitals to employ modern medicine and practices. Vajira Hospital intends to provide the people of Bangkok with efficient primary health care. It was named by the King Vajiravudh, who came to open the hospital on January 2, 1913 (B.E. 2455). Its earliest buildings are located on Samsen Road, in present-day Dusit District, Bangkok. [1]

Vajira Hospital established a medical school in 1985, the 8th in Thailand, in cooperation with Srinakharinwirot University, as the Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, Srinakharinwirot University. The faculty was organized by Vajira Hospital and was funded by the university. A few years later Bangkok Metropolitan Administration planned to start their own medical program, established as BMA Medical College (Thai : วิทยาลัยแพทยศาสตร์กรุงเทพมหานคร. [2] This became an affiliated institution with Mahidol University, as the 3rd medical school of Mahidol University. [3] In 1993, the college began opening admission process for students.

In 1998, BMA Medical College was merged with Vajira Hospital into a single organization under the name BMA Medical College and Vajira Hospital Thai : วิทยาลัยแพทยศาสตร์กรุงเทพมหานครและวชิรพยาบาล to form a union of medical education and healthcare services. [4]

In 2010, BMA Medical College & Vajira Hospital, along with Kuakarun College of Nursing, joined to form University of Bangkok Metropolis (มหาวิทยาลัยกรุงเทพมหานคร), with the medical school's name changed to Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, University of Bangkok Metropolis. It was officially declared in the Royal Thai Government Gazette on November 12, 2010. [5] [6] On June 3, 2011, H.M. the King Bhumibol Adulyadej presented the university with a new formal name, Navamindradhiraj University (Thai : มหาวิทยาลัยนวมินทราธิราช).
