Tung Shin Hospital, previously known as Pooi Shin Thong, was founded in 1881 by Kapitan Cina Yap Kwan Seng, who hailed from the province of Chak Kai in Guangzhou, China. The hospital offered free medical care and service to the poor, dispensing Chinese traditional medicine, while funeral arrangements were also arranged for the needy. Initially it was situated at Sultan Street, Kuala Lumpur. In 1894 it was converted into a non-profit organization and its name was changed to Tung Shin Hospital. The hospital was then shifted to the present address. This 10-storey block with a total built up area of 240,000 square feet has a bed capacity of 250.
