The Royal Samaritan Hospital was a hospital for women in Govanhill, Glasgow, Scotland.
The hospital had its origins in a converted house in South Cumberland Street which opened in January 1886. [1] It moved to Kingston House in Tradeston in 1890 and to a new purpose‑built hospital, designed by MacWhannel and Rogerson, in Coplaw Street in 1895. [1] The Alice Mary Corbett Memorial Nurses' Home was completed in 1904, funded by the grandmother of Elsie Cameron Corbett. [2] A new wing to the hospital was completed in 1927 and a patients' annex opened in 1936. [1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and then closed in 1991. [3] [4] [5]
