History
Opened 2 December 1878

Oslo Hospital is a light rail station on the Ekeberg Line of the Oslo Tramway. It is located near Oslo Hospital in Ekeberg, in the borough of Gamlebyen, in Oslo, Norway.

The station opened on 2 December 1878 as the terminus of the second segment of the Gamleby Line built by Kristiania Sporveisselskab. It was renamed following the change of name of the city from Kristiania to Oslo in 1925.[1] On 11 June 1917 it also became the first station on the Ekeberg Line, after Ekebergbanen had built the suburban tramway to Sæter.[2] The station is served by lines 18 and 19,[3] using both SL79 and SL95 trams.
