Main Building of Old Tsan Yuk Maternity Hospital (Western District Community Centre)
36A Western Street

Founded by the Chinese Public Dispensaries Committee, Tsan Yuk Maternity Hospital was opened in 1922 for the Chinese. It offered midwifery courses and had become a teaching hospital of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of The University of Hong Kong from the mid-1920s onwards. The hospital moved to the new hospital building on Hospital Road in 1955. The former site was then used by the Social Welfare Office, once a temporary outpatient clinic in Sai Ying Pun, and the later community centre, continuing to provide medical and social welfare services for the community in the Western District.
