Kútvölgyi Úti Oktatókórház, University hospital and historic monument in Budapest District XII, Hungary
Kútvölgyi Úti Oktatókórház is a university hospital in Budapest District XII that operates as a teaching facility. It features eight operating rooms and three delivery rooms arranged within a cross-shaped structure spanning a substantial interior volume.
The facility opened in 1943 as the National Officials' Disease Relief Fund Hospital. The architects Glock Imre and Sávoly Pál designed it using advanced steel-frame construction methods for the time.
The hospital transformed from an exclusive medical center requiring special access permits during the 1950s to an educational institution within Semmelweis University's medical training program.
The hospital is accessible by public transportation with street parking available in the surrounding area. Visitors and patients can reach the facility to arrange appointments during regular working hours.
The building stands out from traditional hospital pavilion layouts through its vertical organization with centralized services. This design allowed patient flow and care delivery to function more efficiently within a single structure.
