Established in 1879, the hospital was a pioneering institution in the region, providing much-needed medical care to the diverse population of the bustling international settlement. The image showcases the hospital's impressive neoclassical architecture, with its grand façade adorned with intricate details and columns. The meticulously manicured gardens surrounding the hospital add to its charm, creating an inviting and tranquil atmosphere.
