Summary[edit]

Description

On 14 February 1964 the new National Women’s Hospital building was officially opened. Originally it was arranged that Her Majesty the Queen Mother would open the building, but unfortunately she was taken ill with appendicitis, and the new hospital was opened by the Governor General.

Various medical and charitable services had been available on the Green Lane site, starting with the Costley Home for the aged poor, opened in 1890. TB patients were cared for from 1910, and in 1912 a nurses’ home was built. In 1946 an Obstetrical and Gynaecological Unit was established on the site. This image from the National Women's Hospital opening ceremony records shows a sample invitation and a plan of the hospital site [Archives reference: YCBH 15493/3d].
