KK Women's and Children's Hospital (abbreviation: KKH) is the largest public hospital specialising in healthcare for women and children in Singapore, located at 100 Bukit Timah Road.[2]
From its humble beginnings as a small general hospital in 1858 to a 30-bed maternity hospital in 1924,[2] KKH has grown into an 830-bed hospital providing obstetric and gynecology, neonatology, and pediatric services.
Often referred to as "KK" amongst locals,[3] it is the birthplace of a sizeable proportion of Singaporeans, delivering over half of total newborns in the country as early as 1938.
