Tung Shin Hospital in Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia

Tung Shin Hospital, previously known as Pooi Shin Thong, was founded in 1881 by Kapitan Cina Yap Kwan Seng, to provide traditional medical care for patients. Initially it was situated at Sultan Street, Kuala Lumpur. In 1894 it was converted into a non-profit organization and its name was changed to Tung Shin Hospital. The hospital was then shifted to the present address. A new single story ward was built in 1917. It was rebuilt in 1959 into a double storey, u-shape medical ward. The building was completed in 1961 and named the Welfare Ward.  In 1933, Chinese Medical Ward was built and named Loke Yim Ward. In 1963, it was rebuilt into a double storey ward, and recently it was converted into the hospital cafeteria.  

A three-storey Lee Yan Lian Building was completed in 1974 and became an inpatient ward in 1978. It is now turned into a dormitory for the nursing students.   A bold expansion program for the Western Medical Department was initiated in 1985 and completed in 1989. This 10-storey block with a total built up area of 240,000 square feet has a bed capacity of 250.
