Saint Lukes
It's foundations were laid on April 5, 1930, by the Governor of Malta, John Du Cane, in the presence of the Prime Minister, Gerald Strickland.
By 1939, at the outset of the Second World War, the hospital was still incomplete and the work was suspended, nevertheless, in 1941, the main block was converted into an isolation hospital for infectious diseases. The edifice, now given the official title of St. Luke's Hospital, had to cope with several epidemics ranging from measles to typhoid, typhus, poliomyelitis, scabies and ringworm.
By the late 1940s St. Luke's assumed its role as a general hospital with facilities for treating general medical, surgical, gynaecological and paediatric cases. In 1948 the radiology department was opened.
The hospital building is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands
