History

Nambour Selangor Private Hospital History
Nambour Selangor Private Hospital has a proud and distinguished history of providing quality health care services to the Sunshine Coast community over the past 60 years

The Selangor story began when two exAustralian Army Nursing Sisters Sr Christine Oxley and Sr Dorothy Ralston were approached to establish a private hospital in Nambour

Sr Oxley had served in Malaya during WWII enduring time as a prisoner of war in Selangor Sr Ralston was evacuated from Singapore just days before the country fell to the Japanese

The Sisters set up their first hospital in a rambling old home in Nambour comprising the original house and two fibrocement extensions Using a 3000pound war service loan and their own small savings of a few hundred pounds the Sisters primarily purchased war disposal equipment and set up single double and threebed wards an operating theatre and labour ward with the nurses quarters underneath

The 24bed Hospital was named Selangor Private Hospital acknowledging the Sisters wartime experiences and opened in July 1947 Just 22 years later the time came to expand the hospital at a new site

In 1959 construction of a new Selangor Private Hospital began at its present site on Netherton Street in Nambour The new building comprised accommodation for 27 patients in private rooms wards for medical and surgical cases a special ward for children isolation room operating theatre and xray

The new Selangor Private Hospital was officially opened in 1960

Today Nambour Selangor Private Hospital stands proudly in tribute to the efforts of its founders delivering high quality patientfocused private health care to the people of the Sunshine Coast
