Tung Shin Hospital – Private Hospital and Medical Facilities in Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Tung Shin Hospital was founded in 1881 at Sultan Street, Kuala Lumpur by Kapitan Cina Yap Kwan Seng and was previously known as Pooi Shin Thong. Initially, it merely provided traditional medical care for patients. In 1894 it was converted into a non-profit organization and its name was changed to Tung Shin Hospital and it was shifted to the current address. A new single story ward was built in 1917. It was rebuilt in 1959 into a double storey, U-shape medical ward and completed in 1961. It was built and named the Welfare Ward and has since become the Chinese medical ward and named Loke Yim Ward. In 1963 it was rebuilt into a double-storey Female Ward which was completed a year later.
Har Par Building was built as a hall in 1935 and it was converted into Chinese medical out-patient clinic, office, hostel and western specialist center. Presently it is the library of Chinese Medical Department and activities center for staff Sport and Recreation Club.
A bold expansion programme for Western Medical Department was initiated in 1985. A 10 storey block with a total built-up area of 240,000 sq. feet was completed in 1989. It has a bed capacity of 238.
In 2002, Lee Yan Lian Ward was demolished for the construction of a 12-storey Chinese Medical Building. The new block has a built up floor area of 180,000 sq. feet and was completed in July 2005 and started operational in January 2006. The building consists of Chinese Medical Department with out-patient clinics, in-patient ward with bed capacity of 108 beds, administration office, Tung Shin Academy of Nursing and hostel for staff with the capacity to accommodate 250 people.
