History

In October 1872, on the proposal of the Ministers of Culture Eötvös József and Pauler Tivadar, 4 faculties of the University of Kolozsvár opened, including the Faculty of Medicine. The first director of the university clinics was Engel Gábor, a pioneer in gynaecological surgery, who lead the institute until the Romanian occupation in 1919. Then he was removed from his post because of his resistance against the occupiers. His grave is in the Házsongárd Cemetery.

Based on Hauszmann's plans, the construction of the anatomy building was started on 12 May 1884, which housed the dissection, pathology and forensic medicine departments. The Institute of Life and Public Health was completed in 1886-1887. By the autumn of 1899, the buildings for surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics, gynaecology and the directorate building were completed; patients were moved from the old hospital building on 24 September. The ophthalmology clinic opened on 1 July 1900 and the dermatology and venereology clinic on 1 October 1900. On 13 June 1919, the Karolina National Hospital and Clinic came under Romanian administration. The marble plaque in the courtyard of the clinics commemorating the construction was removed, and the bust of Purjesz Zsigmond was also removed.
