Kello Hospital is a health facility in John's Loan, Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lanarkshire.
The facility, which was financed by a legacy from Simon Linton Kello, a local bank manager, and his sister, was completed in November 1926.[1] It was expanded in 1937 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it was extended again in 1967.[1] A significant number of patients were transferred from Lockart Hospital when that hospital was unable to recruit any clinical staff in 2016.[2]
