[edit] History
The first hospital was built for the Institute for Tuberculosis (today's Institute for Lung diseases) in 1955. The first patient was admitted to the new hospital on June 6, 1960. The Institute had 800 beds and there were over 3,000 patients waiting to be admitted to the hospital. The diagnostic department for non-tuberculous patients was opened the following year and the surgery unit shortly afterwards, where resection surgeries of the lungs were performed.
The Institute of Oncology is founded later on the same location in 1965. In 1977, The Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases was founded.
