Launceston General Hospital opened in 1863, replacing the earlier Cornwall Hospital and Infirmary, and grew under surgeon superintendents Sir John Ramsay and Dr Clifford Craig into one of Tasmania's leading provincial hospitals — among its milestones were one of the first successful internal heart massage treatments for cardiac arrest, and one of the first hospital X-ray machines in the state. A new hospital was built on the same site between 1937 and 1942, and in 1981 a further new building opened across Charles Street, incorporating the Queen Victoria Hospital for Women (established 1897).
This multi-author history, by Paul AC Richards, Barbara Valentine, Tom Dunning and Dan Huon, marks 150 years of the hospital's care in northern Tasmania.
