Kulim Hospital is a landmark and a hospital serving the public that is situated in Kulim Town, which is a sub-district or “mukim” of the district of Kulim, state of Kedah, Malaysia. Built to accommodate the health needs of the local residents nearby, it is easily found alongside Jalan Kulim-Mahang with other facilities such as banks, higher education institutions, school, temple, police station, supermarkets and many more, which is natural considering its location within the town.

As such, the hospital would be busier since the workload would cover the whole town which is more populated than a specific sub-district or area. Considering its distinctive features compared to the surrounding buildings as well as the big signboards, without a doubt, it is easily accessible upon entering the town of Kulim. The public hospital is fully funded by the federal government so as to set a standard of communication and workflow process when it comes to the delivery of healthcare services. The area would usually be slightly crowded in the morning around 8 to 9 am and evening around 5 to 6 pm from Sundays to Thursdays when the staffs would go to and back from work.
