The famous (or infamous) wards 13 and 14 later renamed P1 and P2. These orignally wooden structures, were the wards one got admitted to before being sent to other wards.

The hospital was where Universiti Kebangsaan used to have their training before moving to HUKM in Cheras. Now Universiti Putra uses the hospital facilities for training their medical students.
