Lam Wah Ee Hospital is a major hospital in Penang. It is located at 141 Jalan
Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim (Batu Lanchang Road) (formerly Batu Lanchang Road), in the
Green Lane area. It is noted for being a major practitioner of Chinese medicine
in the region.
The idea of setting up a hospital was first raised by leaders of the Chinese
community in Penang in 1876. From that idea, a fund-raising campaign was
launched, which enabled the trustees to erect the first Lam Wah Ee Hospital
building. The building, in traditional style, was located at 36 Muntri Street in
1883.
For decades, Muntri Street became known as "Lam Wah Ee Kay" or "Lam Wah Ee
Hospital Street". The medical services were in such high demand that the
hospital had to set up two branches, one at Beach Street and another at Magazine
Road.
The original Lam Wah Ee Hospital building was destroyed during the Second World
War. It was rebuilt in early modern style in 1955, and was used until the
hospital moved to the land on Green Lane. The present site in Batu Lanchang was
donated by the British East India Company to Lam Wah Ee Hospital much earlier.
Since then, the hospital has expanded several times. The latest addition to the
hospital complex is a 8-storey block. In keeping with times, Lam Wah Ee Hospital
is equiped with WiFi, allowing for wireless broadband Internet access within its
premises.

Two of Penang’s major hospitals were found on this street, namely Lam Wah Ee
Hospital in 1883 and the Adventist Hospital in 1924. The Lam Wah Ee hospital
stopped its service during the Second World War when Japanese ruled and was
destroyed by bombings. It re-opened and rebuilt after the war in 1955 by fund
collections organized by the Chinese community. Today, this double-storey
building is now a business place for a car workshop.
