Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum

The Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum is a medical history museum in Sibu that documents healthcare services and their development in the city. It contains medical instruments, photographs, and documents arranged to show how hospital operations and patient care changed over time.

The original Lau King Howe Hospital was founded in 1936 and served as the main healthcare facility in Sibu for decades. After it closed in 1994, the building was preserved as a museum to honor its role in the city's medical past.

The place shows how medical care became part of Sibu's community life and what it meant for local families over time. The exhibits reflect the daily work of doctors and nurses, revealing the challenges they faced in serving the region.

The museum is organized into different sections, each focusing on a particular aspect of medical history and practice. Information panels are provided in English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin to help visitors understand the exhibits.

The museum maintains a registry where people born at the former hospital can record their birth details. This personal archive connects visitors to their own family history and the stories of the place itself.
