Is there an infamous abandoned hospital in Asia that is said to be haunted?

Is there an infamous abandoned hospital in Asia that is said to be haunted?
I remember getting a link to a gallery of some old hospital or asylum that is said to be haunted. I can't remember the link or the country though. I'm aware that there may be hundreds of abandoned hospitals in Asia which are said to be haunted; I'm interested in the more interesting ones though.

Maybe in an island called Corregidor Ruins in the Philippines or the abandoned hospital in Clark, Pampanga, or there is a haunted hotel in Baguio City!

Yes. Malinta Hospital, which is part of a long extensive tunnel maze under the mountain of Corregidor Island in the Philippines, was the structure where American and Filipino soldiers were being treated for gunshot wounds and other wounds caused by the Japanese war against the United States (Philippines was previously an American colony). Needless to say, thousands of soldiers died there. When the Malinta Tunnel was eventually opened, and made into a Light and Sound Show (with most of the things untouched), people say that they have an eerie feeling when they get there. The part of the tunnel which is a hospital was virtually cordoned off, being at the very distant part of the tunnel. People say they still hear screams, shrieks, and chains there - mostly Americans, and seeing spirits or ghosts is a fairly common occurrence. Howls also predominate at night which is why the Tunnel is closed just before the sun sets. It is one of the major hospitals in Asia during the World War II.

Old Changi Hospital – once a military hospital in Singapore before being closed down some years ago, this hospital is the most haunted spot in Asia’s most ghost-ridden city. The morgue is a particular hot spot for ghost sightings of the headless and footless kind. Recently, plans have been drawn out to convert the area into a spa resort.
