'''County Hospital''' (often referred to locally as '''Panteg Hospital''') is the only hospital in [[Torfaen]], [[Wales]]. It is located in the [[Pontypool]] suburb of [[Griffithstown]].
The oldest parts of the hospital were built in [[1837]] as a [[Workhouse]] as part of the Pontypool Poor Law Union. It was extended throughout the [[Victorian era|Victorian]] period and again in the early parts of the twentieth century.
The hospital was severely downgraded in the early [[1990]]s and lost its maternity wards and full accident and emergency facility. A minor casualty department remains.
