Semmelweis University Department of Transplantology and Surgery, Medical teaching facility in District VIII, Hungary.
The Semmelweis University Department of Transplantology and Surgery is an eclectic building located at Üllői út 78 in Budapest that serves as a teaching facility with research and training spaces for medical students. The structure combines original architectural elements with contemporary laboratory equipment for both education and patient care.
The building was designed by architect István Kiss and constructed between 1899 and 1900 during a period when hospital cleanliness standards were being transformed in Budapest. This early construction phase reflected new thinking about medical facility design that influenced healthcare architecture across the city.
The department maintains a dual-language education system, offering medical lectures in both Hungarian and English for international and local students.
The facility contains multiple specialized laboratory areas equipped for different types of medical testing and analysis. Access to the building is typically restricted since it operates as an active medical institution serving students and patients.
The department performs specialized testing to monitor medication effectiveness in transplant patients and detect viral infections that may develop after surgery. These diagnostic services form a crucial part of follow-up care for people who have received organ transplants.
