The construction of the Tuberculosis Hospital in Knez Selo started in 1939. In 1947, the hospital was transformed into the Tuberculosis Sanatorim (with 200 beds) and in 1956 it became the Special TB Hospital (with 350 beds). This hospital was transformed into the Pulmonary Diseases Institute which became the Pulmonary Diseases and TB Clinic in 1982.
