Saint Mungo's follows the normal Chinese and Japanese convention of naming 'saints' with the character 聖 shèng (simplified 圣), sei in Japanese. In Vietnamese this is thánh. 'Mungo' is, of course, rendered phonetically.
'Maladies and Injuries' is very succinct in the Chinese Mainland version, as 伤病 shāng-bìng (literally, 'injury-illness'), less so in the Taiwanese, Japanese, and Vietnamese versions.
St Mungo is an actual historical figure from 6th-7th century Britain. He is supposed to have founded Glasgow (of which he is the patron saint), so Rowling's inclusion of a St Mungo's hospital is an appropriate tip of the hat to her native Scotland. St Mungo's can be found in the names of cathedrals, churches, schools, and museums, and is also the name of an organisation for the homeless in London. For an account of St Mungo's life, see The Scotland Guide - Glasgow: St Mungo and the Glasgow Coat of Arms, St Mungo and Cathedral of St Mungo.
