The Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (TAR) Hospital in Klang (Malay: Hospital Besar Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang), also known as Klang General Hospital or Klang GH is a 1094-bed[1] government tertiary hospital located in the south of the royal town of Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. The hospital is the second busiest hospital in Malaysia in terms of inpatients admission and the busiest outpatient medical facility in Malaysia.[2][3]
This hospital provides primary and selected tertiary care services. The hospital began operations in 1985 and is located not far from Istana Alam Shah and Bandar Bukit Tinggi. It was named after the consort of Sultan Salahuddin, Tengku Ampuan Rahimah.

Issues
Overcrowded
The hospital is currently facing overcrowding issues, with too many patients and lack of space. Patients are being treated on beds placed along the corridors.[5] TAR has 893 beds, with an admission rate of 260 patients daily. In 2014, the hospital recorded 95,000 inpatients, the second highest in the country.[2]
Flash flood
A section of geriatric ward of the hospital is frequently flooded during heavy downpour.[6] The hospital management has proposed to build a retention pond to overcome the issue to the State Public Works Department, Drainage and Irrigation Department and Health Department in February 2015.
