Dragon's Heart Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Calon y Ddraig)[1] was a temporary hospital located at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. It opened on 13 April 2020[2] to help deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales. It was decommissioned towards the end of October and early November 2020.[3]
It was the third of the COVID-19 hospitals set up in the United Kingdom, and the first in Wales. It had 300 beds,[2] with space to expand to up to 2,000,[4] which would make it the largest hospital in Wales, and the second largest in the United Kingdom.[5]
