The hospital specializes diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases and also serves as an important medical research and training centre. The country has a relatively low life expectancy at just 68 years, and diseases such as typhus, typhoid, malaria and bacteraemia are important.
Since 2000 the hospital has included the Lao-Oxford-Mahosot Hospital-Wellcome Trust Research Unit. This is funded by the Wellcome Trust in collaboration with the University of Oxford. The Infectious Diseases Centre in the hospital consists of two floors: a patient ward on the ground floor with rooms varying on degree of isolation, a laboratory and research area and offices and conference rooms on the upper floor.
