Go BackThe Maternity Hospital moved here in 1955 from its original building, which was known as the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, along Macalister Road. The building there today houses the Museum @ Macalister.
As you enter the driveway toward the Maternity Hospital, you will see on your left the Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBG) clinic (Klinik Ibu Mengandung dan Sakit Puan).
Updates on the Penang Maternity Hospital
December 2014: The Penang Maternity Hospital was closed down for a major upgrading. The Women and Children's block will be demolished and rebuilt in a RM250million Economic Planning Unit project. After the upgrading, the hospital will have 329 beds (as compared to 210 beds before the upgrading). As a first ever, the hospital will have a school in it, so that children who get sick will still be able to continue their education with in-house teachers.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
