History
When the Medical School was established in 1952, the local obstetrical hospital, Maternidade Sinhá Junqueira de Ribeirão Preto, located downtown, was adapted as the school's teaching hospital for the clinical semesters. Around 1970, the State government started to build a new hospital on the university's suburban campus at the former Monte Alegre coffee farm, but financial difficulties postponed finishing it until 1978.
