The tropical climates condition, such as in Malaysia, the also one problem that can Effect significantly to the building defects. Under normal condition all building begins to deteriorate the moment after they are constructed, and of course maintenance is needed. Regard to the highly cost of maintenance it is important to study maintenance problem so that an effective maintenance can be carried out. To achieve the aim of this study, three (3) objectives have been set which is to determine type of defects occurred in hospital, to determine the effectiveness of maintenance system management in hospital and to compare the management maintenance system between private and public hospital.
