The hospital has its origins in a dispensary established in 1900 in a small building at Jalan Petri, Muar. [3] It was known as the ‘Government Dispensary’ at that time and situated at the present HSBC Bank opposite the Muar Trade Centre building at the intersection with Jalan Othman, the street where the present Muar District Health Office is also located just a stone's throw away.

The whole health service was later shifted to the current location at Jalan Salleh in 1918, after a new building built at Muar River side when the town of Muar was being restructured. [3] [5] [6]

Beginning in the 1920s, the hospital which was once known as the Muar District Hospital has gone through a variety of development until today. It went through tremendous transformation into a specialist hospital under the tenure of Chua Jui Meng as Minister of Health (1995 – 2004), who was also a local-bred Member of Parliament (MP) for Bakri formerly. [7] [8] On 13 October 2003 the hospital status and name was converted from 'Hospital Muar' to the present 'Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah' with the declaration was officially completed by the Sultanah of Johor then, Sultanah Zanariah.
