Exhibitions

The Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum proudly showcases Sibu’s medical history through our unique collection of vintage exhibits. Visitors can view old nurses’ uniforms, track the evolution of the nursing curriculum, and explore historical equipment used in surgical, dental, intensive care, and obstetric services.
