History
The Great City Hospital was founded in 1909, and it was comprised departments of surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, dermatology and venereal, and internal and infectious diseases. Later, name of the hospital was changed into the Main Provincial Hospital (Glavna Pokrajinska bolnica), with around 400 beds. In 1977, the hospital became a teaching hospital, following the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine within the University of Novi Sad.
Parts of the original pavilion complex survive within the present hospital campus, including the Clinic for abdominal and endocrine surgery, which served as the administrative center of the hospital when it opened in 1909.
The present University Clinical Centre of Vojvodina was founded by the decision of the Government of Serbia in 1997.
As of 2017, the University Clinical Centre holds 1,425 hospital beds,[1] and its staff of 2,738 includes 502 medical doctors, 5 pharmacists, 1,350 nurses and technicians, 34 allied health professionals, 182 administrative and 665 ancillary and maintenance workers.[citation needed]
