SJH was founded by the St. John Ambulance Association. The foundation stone of this Victorian-style construction was laid by the tycoon brothers Mr Aw Boon Haw and Mr Aw Boon Par in 1932. In November 1934, it was donated to the Hong Kong St. John Ambulance Association, and officially called St John Ambulance Association Haw Par Hospital after the names of the donors.[1] In 1946, it was converted to a tuberculosis sanatorium. On 22 January 2010, it was confirmed as a Grade 3 historic building.[2]
