Infrastructure and Facilities
Set within landscaped gardens for the comfort of patients and visitors, the hospital has remained fully equipped with medical facilities and infrastructure since its opening. There are four ward blocks providing 806 beds across 17 wards. Other basic necessities including telephones, ATMs and vending machines along with many others are within easy reach in the hospital. There are also a cafeteria, mosque and waiting rooms.
Due to its location, Malacca General Hospital receives referrals from all the peripheral clinics and hospitals in Malacca as well as from neighbouring states such as Johor (Tangkak, Muar) and Negeri Sembilan (Tampin). As a result, the hospital is generally busy with an ever increasing workload. On occasion bed occupancy rates in some wards exceed 100%.
