History

The hospital was commissioned to replace the aging Ebbw Vale Hospital which had closed at the end of 2005.{{cite web|url=https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/4621999.hospital-closure-hastened/|title=Hospital closure 'hastened'|publisher=South Wales Argus|date=2 September 2005|access-date=24 February 2019}} The new hospital, which was built at a cost of £53 million and stands on the site of the former Ebbw Vale Steelworks, opened in October 2010.{{cite web|author=WalesOnline |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health-news/2010/10/13/nhs-founder-would-be-proud-of-53m-ysbyty-aneurin-bevan-91466-27458191/ |title=NHS founder would be proud of £53m Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan |date=12 October 2010 |publisher=Wales Online |access-date=11 February 2019}}

It was the first NHS hospital to be built in England or Wales with 100% single room, ensuite facilities to help control infection and improve privacy.{{cite web|url=http://building.dow.com/eu/gbr/en/casestudies/hospitalwales.htm |title=Performance Building Solutions |publisher=Building.dow.com |access-date=11 February 2019}} It was named after Aneurin Bevan, the founder of the NHS, and was the first hospital named after him in the UK.{{cite web | title=Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan | website=Aneurin Bevan University Health Board | date=22 July 2019 | url=https://abuhb.nhs.wales/hospitals/enhanced-local-general-hospitals/ysbyty-aneurin-bevan/ | ref={{sfnref | Aneurin Bevan University Health Board | 2019}} | access-date=4 July 2024}}

The building sustained "extensive damage" when a 4x4 vehicle was driven through the main entrance in January 2018.{{cite web | title=Ram-raiders hit Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan in Ebbw Vale | website=BBC News | date=11 January 2018 | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-42650410 | ref={{sfnref | BBC News | 2018}} | access-date=4 July 2024}} An alternative entrance was set up for patients, and a hospital spokesman said it would take six weeks to replace the damaged doors.{{cite web | title=Ram-raided Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan six weeks to repair | website=BBC News | date=15 January 2018 | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-42690385 | ref={{sfnref | BBC News | 2018}} | access-date=4 July 2024}}
