The Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) is Adelaide's largest hospital. With 800 beds, the RAH provides tertiary health care services for South Australia and provides secondary care clinical services to residents of Adelaide's city centre and inner suburbs. The hospital was founded in the Adelaide Park Lands on the north side of North Terrace between Frome Road and the Adelaide Botanic Gardens in 1856, and was officially proclaimed "Royal" on 26 November 1949.
