This is just an information if emergency cases happens during your travel here in Alor Gajah, the government hospital is situated inside the Alor Gajah town and it is very easy to access.
It is a small district hospital with only 29 bed strength. The small bed strength is because Alor Gajah is located quite near to Melaka town that has a General Hospital. All serious cases will be refered to Melaka General Hospital. Scheduled special services provided are Orthopaedics, Medical, Psychiatry & Paediatrics.
The address is Hospital Alor Gajah, 78000, Alor Gajah, Melaka.
Telephone : 06-5562333.
I frequently visits this hospital as one of my companys branch is situated inside the hospital compound.
Hopefully and wishing that we will always have a safe travel & happy trips.
