At the end of the Second World War, the General State Hospital had seven
departments, the same facilities, and the same bed capacity as in the
pre-war period. In the newly formed state of Yugoslavia, intensive growth
and modernization of the hospital began, despite the great financial
difficulties. The hospital became the Main Provincial Hospital and new
departments and services were established. Mainly during the 1960s and
1970s, ten new surgery departments were established, which later became
independent clinics. The surgery departments occupied pavilions 1, 2, 3 and
4. Complex and contemporary abdominal and thoracic surgeries were performed.
The Department of Internal Diseases became the Clinic of Internal Diseases
and in 1964 it was moved to a newly equipped four-story building. The Clinic
of Gynecology and Obstetrics was founded and it was moved into a modern,
purpose-built facility with a 230 bed capacity for adult patients and 105
for newborns. Rapid progress has also been made in the development of the
Clinic of Infectious Diseases, Clinic of Eye Diseases, Clinic of Ear, Nose
and Throat Diseases, Neurology and Psychiatry Clinics, Clinic of
Dermatovenereology Diseases, Medical Rehabilitation Clinic - as well as a
modern laboratory, X-ray, blood transfusion, and polyclinic services. After
the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine and the Clinical Center of
Vojvodina, this large tertiary medical institution is the source of pride
for Novi Sad. Founded 110 years ago, the hospital is still dedicated to
providing better healthcare for patients.
