Background

In 1920 the Sungai Petani Hospital was known as the “Sungai Petani Hospital” and headed by Dr. Richard Brunel Hawes of England. It is best known as the first “Medical Officer Central Kedah” (MOCK). The hospital is surrounded by rubber and forest estate areas with wild animals.

In 1942 (Japanese colonization) “Sungai Petani Soul Hospital” was transferred by the Japanese to “Bedong Group Estate” in Bedong because “Sungai Petani Hospital” was used as a Japanese Camp. After the British took over Malaya, “Sungai Petani Hospital” was transferred back to its original place and changed its name to Sungai Petani District Hospital.

The Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital was built in 2002 with a capacity of 498 beds. It commenced operations on January 4, 2007 and inaugurated by His Excellency Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah on 22 November 2007.

The hospital is located in Amanjaya Town, about 10 kilometers from Sungai Petani City Center. Now the number of beds has increased to 550 due to the rapid development and population growth of the Kuala Muda District and surrounding areas.
