The teaching hospital Sisters of Charity (Croatian: Klinički bolnički centar Sestre milosrdnice) in Zagreb, Croatia, is one of the oldest hospitals in southeastern Europe.[1][2]

History

The hospital was established in 1846, through the initiative of Cardinal Juraj Haulik, the Archbishop of Zagreb. It changed various locations in the city center until a permanent hospital campus was built from 1893 to 1894 by the German architect Kuno Waidmann, on the place of the former Villa Socias and a neighboring graveyard in Vinogradska Street.[2][3]

It was operated by the Sisters of Charity from 1894 until 1948. The Emperor Franz Joseph visited the hospital in 1895.[2][4]

The Sisters ran the hospital until the confiscation after WWII, when it was nationalized by the Communist government (in 1948) and was renamed the Dr. Mladen Stojanović Hospital. The original name was returned in 1992, but the government retained ownership. It is operated under the Ministry of Health.

Activities
