A humble dispensary was set up at Bencoolen Street for this purpose. This marked the start of a long and illustrious journey of the St. Andrew’s Medical Mission. The humble dispensary grew into the full-fledged St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital in 1923.

St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital (SAMH) was incorporated under an Act of Parliament: The St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital Ordinance in 1934. The Ordinance states the objects of SAMH, the composition of the membership and the Board of Management, as well as the conduct of the General Meetings of the Corporation.
