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.
