The Island Hospital is a 300-bed private hospital in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia.[1] Established in 1996, it has more than 50 specialists and about 20 consultant centres.[1][2][3] This relatively new hospital is capable of serving 290 in-patients and 650 out-patients on any given day.[2]
History
Island Hospital was founded in 1996, with the construction of the hospital eventually taking a mere 10 months.[4] In 2017, the Penang state government announced plans to build a separate, affiliated hospital, named the Island Medical City, at Peel Avenue.[5] Upon completion, the project is expected to expand the hospital's capacity by 300 beds.
