The Insein General Hospital () is a 500-bed public hospital and teaching hospital located in the northern part of Yangon, Myanmar. It has nine in-patient wards and six specialty clinics.

History In 1930, a well-known wealthy man in British rule, Sir Pho Thar, built and donated a 50-bed station hospital as an ancient colonial style building. Thus, it was known as Sir Pho Thar Hospital at that time. It was upgraded to 100-bed general hospital in 1952, 150-bed with specialty units for dentistry, orthopedics, laboratory and radiology in 1965 and 300-bed in 1991. With all these development, it became a central level government hospital in July 1995.

In 1996, a new 3-storey building and a guard ward for imprisoned patients with 20 beds were developed. Prisoners from Insein Prison are admitted in this guard ward as the prison is located nearby the hospital.
