INTRODUCING YOU TO THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL OF OSTRAVA

Tomáš Oborný: ...

Historically, establishment of a medical facility in

Ostrava dates from 14th August 1912 when the municipalities

of Vítkovice and Zábřeh nad Odrou opened a jointly

built but not very large Epidemiological Hospital.The hospital

then underwent developments which were infl uenced

by two world wars and the social and political events of

the past century. A new step in its mission was achieved

with a decision of the Ministry of Health to grant it the

status of a University Hospital on 8th April 1992.
