With the start of hostilities in Croatia at the beginning of 1991, work on the hospital almost came to an abrupt halt, but with assistance from the Croatian health care system, work on the hospital was completed by the end of 1992 when it opened as a public health care medical facility offering 750 beds.

plans to enlarge the current hospital by an additional 300 beds by extending it over what is currently the ground floor labs and research facilities and adding 7 floors.

Plans call for a new surgical wing and additional labs and hospital wards.

the hospital is among the best medical facilities in the country, ranked 3rd nationwide by number and scope of treatments and specialists.

Currently, the hospital has a total area of 80,470 m2 (866,200 sq ft) and serves mainly the eastern Zagreb boroughs, annually performing 18,000 major surgical/medical procedures and 1.4 million other medical treatments for a population of 280,000 residents.
