The Grantham Hospital for tuberculosis patients, opened in 1957, is carefully designed for its task. The main hospital block, providing 540 beds, is a thin. eight-storey block, sited to catch the summer breezes but escape the cold winds of winter. A crescent-shaped administration block, four storeys high, projects from the main block, to leave the maximum ventilation for the wards. The hospital was built by the Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association at a cost of $5,250.000. obtained partly by an outright grant and partly by a loan from the Government which also gave the excellent site, high above the road between Deep Water Bay and Aberdeen on the southern coast of Hong Kong Island.
