- Princess Margaret Hospital for Children
Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (PMH) is a centre for paediatric research and care. The hospital is located on Roberts Road in Subiaco, Western Australia. It is the state's only specialist children's hospital. Together with King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women it makes up the Women's and Children's Health Service.
The hospital originated as the Perth Children's Hospital in 1909 after 12 years of community fundraising. The original facilities included 40 beds, an operating theatre and outpatient department. The current name, "Princess Margaret Hospital for Children", was adopted in 1949, naming it after the late Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1994 the organisational structure for the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and King Edward Memorial Hospital's merged (but not their locations). In 2002 that organisation was renamed Women's and Children's Health Service.In 2005, there were 254 beds and 20,000 inpatients.[ "Really Useful Guidebook to Princess Margaret Hospital for Children", February 2005.
