The Transvaal Memorial Hospital for Children, based in Johannesburg, was the first dedicated children's hospital in South Africa when it opened in 1923. The hospital would remain open until 1978 when its functions were moved to the then newly opened Johannesburg General Hospital. The building is a heritage listed monument and parts of the building are currently used by community groups dedicated to the service of children.
The hospital was designed by the architectural firm, Cowin, Powers & Ellis. The partners were successful in the competition for the Roodepoort-Maraisburg hospital in 1930 and won the competition for the Edward Vlll hospital for non-Europeans [sic] at Congella, Durban in 1932.
