Montreal General Hospital

The Montreal General Hospital (MGH) (French: Hôpital général de Montréal) is a hospital in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was established between 1818 and 1820, and received its charter in 1823. Affiliated with McGill University since 1832, the MGH was one of the first teaching hospitals. In 1997, it merged with the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Montreal Children's Hospital, and The Neuro to become part of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). The MGH is located on Cedar Avenue at the foot of Mount Royal. It has six pavilions: A, B, C, D, E and Livingston (L) as well as the section known as the T-Wing (the T stands for Travancore). Some of The Institute's research facilities are located in the L pavilion. The MGH has been designated by the Quebec government as one of three Level I trauma centres in the province (the others being the Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal and Hôpital de l'Enfant-Jésus in Quebec City) and it is the only one in downtown Montreal. The MGH has been affiliated with McGill since 1832 and was one of the first teaching hospitals. In Newsweek's 2026 rankings of the world's best hospitals, the MGH was ranked 5th in Canada and was the highest ranked in Quebec.
