Gleneagles Hospital Penang (GPG) is a private hospital in George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. Established in 1973, the 360-bed tertiary care provider houses over 85 doctors which cover a wide array of medical specialties, supported by more than 1,100 employees (nurses, allied health personnel and support staff). The hospital now consists of its original six-storey building and a 19-storey annex. [1]
The Gleneagles Hospital Penang was established in 1973 and was originally a three-storey hospital with 70 beds. [2] It was located at the junction of Jalan Cantonment and Jalan Bell.

The hospital was expanded again in 2013, with the completion of a 19-storey annex. Today it is known as Gleneagles Hospital Penang and accommodates 360 beds. The CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Penang is Mr. Ivan Loh. [4]
